      I want to find only the space between the name and number Example: “Name surname 21” (so i want to find the space between surname and 21 only) and replace it with a non breaking space.
      If i use
      ^9
      and replace it with
      ^S^9

      it replaces both the space and the first digit, making it “Name surname ^91”
      thus replacing the 2.

      Yo can also use the find to apply a NO BREAK CHARACTER style which will also do the job
