Hyphenation
Words only split across lines if they contain a hyphen character (minus key) and while it
is possible to do this manually using the keyboard (see below), Designer Pro enables
you to do this automatically using the auto hyphenation feature.
Auto hyphenation is a paragraph attribute - like line spacing and paragraph styles. You
can have hyphenation on in some paragraphs and off in others, all in the same text flow.
Just place your text caret in the appropriate paragraph.
To turn the Auto hyphenation feature on or off - click on the HYPHENATION
button on the Advanced text bar. Or enable it from the dropdown menu of the
SPELLCHECKER / AUTOCORRECTION / HYPHENATION button.
To change the hyphenation settings click on the HYPHENATION SETTINGS...
option on the dropdown menu of the SPELLCHECKER / AUTOCORRECTION /
HYPHENATION button.
The settings dialog will appear, allowing you to control how hyphens are inserted into
your document.
You can decide the SMALLEST WORD to which a hyphen will be applied, and the position
of the hyphen within that word.
