Adjusting hyphenation
You can hyphenate words manually or automatically. Note: You can apply hyphenation to specific paragraphs by first selecting only the paragraphs in a type layer that you want to affect.
To choose a hyphenation dictionary: Choose a language from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the Character palette
To turn automatic hyphenation on or off: In the Paragraph palette, select or deselect the Hyphenate option.
To set automatic hyphenation options: - Choose Hyphenation from the Paragraph palette menu.
- Enter values for the following options:
- Words Longer Than _ Letters to specify the minimum number of characters for hyphenated words. The default value is 5 letters.
- After First _ Letters and Before Last _ Letters to specify the minimum number of characters at the beginning or end of a word that can be broken by a hyphen. For example, by specifying 3 for these values, aromatic would be hyphenated as aro- matic instead of ar- omatic or aromat- ic.
- Hyphen Limit to specify the maximum number of hyphens that can appear on consecutive lines. Zero means unlimited hyphens.
- Hyphenation Zone to specify the distance at the end of a line that will cause a word to break in unjustified type. This option applies only when using the single-line composer. See About composition methods.
- To prevent capitalized words from being hyphenated, deselect Hyphenate Capitalized Words. Then click OK.
