Thanks to both you, Jukka, and Philippe, for addressing this problem.
Jukka, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but neither nbsp; nor creating
a span class with {white-space: nowrap;} has so far worked for me.
If you could possibly take a quick look at my css and mark-up, at:

-- I'd be most grateful!
Oh yes: does nbsp; work in HTML 4.01 Transitional?
Thanks!

Checking on IE 7, the second case, with nbsp;, works well: the last line is
and strategy, as desired. I wonder where it does not work. People
sometimes make the mistake of using nbsp; _in addition to_ a normal space,
but it needs to be used _instead_ of it - as you are doing:
andnbsp;strategy.
The problem with the CSS way is that you have
whitespace: nowrap;
instead of the correct
white-space: nowrap;
(This is one of the difficult things to remember in CSS: white-space needs
to have the hyphen, whereas the value nowrap must not have a hyphen.=
Oh yes: does nbsp; work in HTML 4.01 Transitional?
Surely. It works in all HTML versions.

I'd be tempted to cut-in the widows in with a #10 x-acto knife and
rubber cement; and, dry up the rivers with a sponge.

Aha -- the problem lay in my own misunderstanding! I'd mistakenly thought that by using nbsp; I could get strategy to actually remain on the prior line. Now I see that, of course, it did eliminate that widow, by adding the 2nd to last word -- and -- to the last line. The problem with the CSS way is that you have whitespace: nowrap; instead of the correct white-space: nowrap; Thank-you, Jukka -- even though I'd checked and rechecked my CSS, that had escaped me! Now I know! Thanks, again, for all your help! - Michael Get news delivered with the All new Yahoo! Mail. Enjoy RSS feeds right on your Mail page.
