can also add words that you don't want hyphenated to the list. Just add the un-
hyphenated word.

The list remains with the document so that if you share the document the hyphenation
preferences remain active. You can also import your own list to a document, which will
add your own preferences to the list.

Inserting hyphens manually

If you type "Ctrl + -" (minus key) it inserts a soft hyphen which is a hyphen that only
appears if the word can wrap at the end of a line. It's called a 'soft' hyphen because when
the word appears in the middle of a line the hyphen vanishes (unlike a normal dash or
minus character), so it intelligently hyphenates the words only if it needs to.

When editing the text a soft hyphen is treated as an invisible character (it takes no
space), but you can tell it's in the text by moving the cursor left/right over where the
invisible character is.

A hard hyphen can be inserted by typing "Ctrl + Shift + -" (minus key). A hard hyphen is
one that will not cause a wrap at all. This is useful in situations where you have dashes in
words that you do not want split at the end of lines.

Find & Replace

The Find & Replace function performs live search so that as you type the search query
the text is searched and highlighted in real-time.
