After Microsoft making last update on my PC 10 hours ago, When I'm typing my text in word 2016, after using any Shortcut Key in my text such as "No-Width Optional Break" with Ctrl+Space Shortcut Key, my font will change to another font automatically. Why it happened?? How can I fix it? I used Reset All and Remove buttons and assigned again a new shortcut key for that but it didn't work (I have to use "Shortcut Key" for my work many times and fixing that problem is an emergency to me! please help me, Thank you)

I finally did something that worked in my case. If you've had this problem with Arabic/Persian fonts, try these steps:

  1. open MS Word and change your font to non Latin (Persian/Arabic)
  2. On the Insert tab click on Symbols.
  3. select a non Latin font (if it's not)
  4. on Character Code box, type: 200C
  5. Assign your desired shortcut (shift+space worked for me)

It's all done. Hope it works for you ;)

it seems "ctrl+space" by default clears all formatting styles including font, size etc. see the link below for a long list of shortcuts in MS word.

Microsoft Word shortcut keys

Unfortunately, I couldn't find how to disable or remove this shortcut.

The way I handled this in Word 2013 was to assign the no-width optional break character to a shortcut key that you won't frequently use, like alt-'. THEN go into AutoCorrect and use the Alt-' key you just assigned to assign the no-width optional break to some other character sequence that is easy to type, such as ///. So in File|Options, select Proofing, select the AutoCorrect tab, then in the Replace text as you type, put in /// on the left side and use the Alt-' shortcut to associate that sequence with the no-width optional break character. Then click Assign. Seems to work for me. Every time I type three slash characters, it is replaced with the optional break (which you can see if you turn on paragraph marks).

I had the same problem for a long long time; its solution was really easy. Just go to Word Option>Customize Ribbon>Customize Keyboard Select common symbols from left box and non-width optional beak from right one; allocate Ctrl+Space to it once more. By allocating the shortcut keys again, it will be removed from CharRest function
