"Hard" space; "hard" hyphen

I know this is probably a dumb question, but I absolutely cannot find out how
to create what I know as a "hard" space or a "hard" hyphen. This is when you
want text within a paragraph kept together and wrapped to the next line.
i.e., Mr. Smith: I don't want Mr. at the end of one line and Smith on the
next line; and i.e., a phone number 999-888-8888. I don't want any of the
numbers on different lines. i.e., 999- at the end of one line and 888-8888 on
the following line. I have searched Help for every option I can think of to
no avail.

I wouldn't have any great hopes for finding them in Help, but what
you're looking for is called "non-breaking space" and "non-breaking
hyphen" -- typed as Greg indicated.
