Show No Break
The No Break attribute is not easily visible. This script highlights all text to which No Break has been applied.
This script is part of the Type and Text collection. See the full collection here.
This script is part of the Word Division/Hyphenation collection. See the full collection here.
The script highlights all text in a document to which No Break has been applied. It does this by creating a condition, called nobreak, and applying that condition to all occurrences of No Break.
The script has no interface. When it’s run, it creates the nobreak condition if it is not present in the document, then highlights No Break. As the highlights applied by conditional text aren’t visible in preview mode, the script switches the screen mode to normal.
The script can be run later when the document has changed. If for any reason you want to delete the condition, go to the Conditional Text panel (Window > Type & Table > Conditional Text) and delete it there.
