To simplify things, consider a monospaced font, with each line in a 
word-wrapped field displaying 20 characters.  Let's look at the string:

THIS IS A STRING WHICH WE WILL ASSUME IS RENDERED IN A MONOSPACED FONT.

With "normal" (breaking) spaces, the field will show lines with text as 
follows:

THIS IS A STRING
WHICH WE WILL ASSUME
IS RENDERED IN A
MONOSPACED FONT.


The space between STRING and WHICH breaks the first line, the space 
between ASSUME and IS breaks the second, and the space between A and 
MONOSPACED breaks the third.  Now change the space between STRING and 
WHICH into a non-breaking space, and you get this:

THIS IS A
STRING WHICH WE WILL
ASSUME IS RENDERED
IN A MONOSPACED
FONT.
