em dash & quotation mark   

Anyone know how to prevent an automatic line break between an em dash and a 
closing quotation mark?

For example, in my manuscript, I finish a quotation with "....if there are 
any more more cutbacks—"  But because this occurs at the end of a line, good 
old Word 2007 insists on putting the quotation mark (I use straight quotes) 
on the next line.

Back when I used to use double hyphens for an em dash, I could always use 
non-breaking hyphens to get around it, but Word seems unaware that quotations 
can end with em dashes.

Ideas welcome.

Delete the extra "more"?

But seriously, folks, you could use Character Spacing to squeeze the
letters in the line together a little bit.
