I have a sentence that looks something like:

Quote :

"blah blah blah blah something something some- thing something blah blah blah"

where the hyphenation was automagically inserted by LaTeX. Apparently I'm not allowed to have a word split over two lines in this specific instance, so I need to rip it out.

I have tried \sloppypar, but that's not working. That's the only command I can find that claims to do away with those hyphenations.

\begin{sloppypar}my sentence goes here \end{sloppypar}


Anyone know any other commands to do this?

does that help?

^ that could work in some fashion, but it's awfully complicated

but I did find a solution

I tried \par and \\ before the hyphenated word, and those got rid of the hyphen, but they also broke the justification (left a gap at the end of the line)
But \linebreak forces a break and keeps the justification in tact.

Odd, but it works...
