Unfortunately, in Word 2000 you can do that only if you're writing in
an Asian language. You can insert a "no-width optional break" from the
Insert Symbol Special Characters dialog, but it doesn't work in
English. You need at least Word 2002 to get this functioning
correctly. See

for details.

Of course, I should have checked
