powerpoint >> Nonbreaking hyphens and spaces?

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Processor: Intel

Does anyone know how to directly implement these in PPT 2008? <br><br>Inserting symbols is now done in the ToolBox Object Pallet, but these special characters are no longer available. <br><br>A work around may be to generate the text in Word 2008, where the symbol menu will let you insert these. And then copy back to PPT. <br><br>But still, is there a means to do this directly in PPT 2008?

Use the OS X Character Viewer in a similar fashion to the old Insert> Symbol
dialog... Except that you can insert any glyph from any installed font &
it's available to all apps.

2. nonbreaking hyphens - find and replace? 

Hi, <br>
I have created a document full of breaking hyphens which I really need to be nonbreaking hyphens. Is there any quick and easy way of changing them all at once, or do I need to go through one at a time? Find and replace doesn't seem to work, because I can't insert the character into the replace form.

4. Nonbreaking space with goudy old style 

Good afternoon all. Word X V10.1.1 OSX10.3.3
I inserted a nonbreaking space (control+shift+spacebar) in a text block
using the font Goudy Old Style. On the screen I see a thin rectangle and
when I print there is NO space between the two words. Normal behaviour with
other fonts, eg Ariel. Any pointers appreciated.
Thanks
Hilary

8. Hyphens in emails addresses cause problems? 

I have been using Entourage for a couple months. I also have a
Blackberry and use an IMAP service.
Over the last couple days I have not been able to send or receive
emails that contain a hyphen in the address. Eg.:  XXXX@XXXXX.COM 
This is a problem on both my Mac and my Blackberry.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
