How do I enter a non breaking space?

Use alt + space instead of the space.

(This is used to keep words together, even if they go over a line break. You may for example have the phrase "R & D", which you for some reason wants to stay on the same line.)

⌥-space

While the key may be marked alt on most Mac keyboards these days,
a) it's more traditionally known as option and
b) it's not in the same place as the alt key on regular PC keyboards.
Some non-U.S. keyboards have this key marked with the symbol ⌥, which is also used to indicate option in menu key equivalents.
