Indesign French Typesetting Question

[ac6789]

Hi all,

I'm currently typesetting a bilingual (French & English) document and was wondering if any of you have a solution to this.

Is it possible to make a rule to say "keep quote marks on same line" for Guillemet marks (aka French quote marks « text goes here »)?

Currently some quotes look like this:
« blah blah blah
»

when it should be:
« blah blah blah »

or breaking the last word to the next line would be OK, just as long as the quote mark isn't by itself.

« blah blah
blah »

It's getting time consuming to search through a multi-paged document and manually adjusting the quotes.

Thanks!

I would do a document-wide search on:

word space + »

and replace with:

non-breaking space + »

Keyboard shortcut is for a non-breaking space is: Alt+Command (Apple)+X
It's also accessible through the Type Menu>Insert White Space
