Not sure they have one. You might have to choose between a non breaking hyphen (CTRL + Shift + -) and an en dash. The CTRL + Shift combination, which is usually what they use for nonbreaking characters, doesn't work with the en dash. You could try re-wording the text so that the line doesn't break in that exact spot. I know that is a lame work-around, but I really don't think they have a non breaking en (or em) dash in the program.

Ctrl+shift+spacebar
In Microsoft Word, a nonbreaking space is displayed as a small, raised dot between words, similar to the way a regular space appears but with a distinct visual marker. You can insert a nonbreaking space by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Spacebar. This type of space prevents an automatic line break at its position, ensuring that the words on either side remain together on the same line.
This is known as the "en dash", it is the smaller of the dash marks. EXAMPLE: en dash -

No.
Check your keyboard it's between the number zero and the plus symbol at the top right of the regular 105+ US keyboard. This is a hyphen and not a dash. If you use the hyphen key, you must use it twice to make a dash, but this still is not a dash as there is a space between the two hyphens. There are two types of dashes. The en dash and the em dash. The en dash is bigger than a hyphen, but smaller than a em dash. The em dash is what most would want to use. The way to type is as follows: en dash - hold down the "alt" key and type 0150. em dash - hold down the "alt" key and type 0151 - Note the dash used in each of the instructions. The first is an en dash, and the second is an em dash. The character beneath them is a hyphen.
The dash is a punctuation mark commonly called a "dash," and there are two main types: the en dash (–) and the em dash (—). The en dash is typically used to indicate a range of values, such as dates or numbers, while the em dash is often used to create a strong break in a sentence or to set off a thought. Both serve distinct purposes in writing, enhancing clarity and emphasis.
No, an en dash and a hyphen are not the same. A hyphen (-) is used to connect words or parts of words, such as in compound adjectives (e.g., well-known). An en dash (–), slightly longer than a hyphen, is used to indicate a range of values, such as in dates (e.g., 2000–2020) or to connect related concepts.
Words that have the word 'dash' in them are dashboard and balderdash.
