Whenever you want to add a dash, you choose from one of the dashes available to type in your keyboard. However, these are normal breaking dashes. Let us imagine that you want to type a date in a format such as 10-10-2023. However, if this date happens to be near the edge of the slide or a text box, part of the date may show up in the next line. The solution is to type in a non-breaking dash that will ensure that the date we explored above stays in the same line without breaking up between two lines.
