Hyphenating words
You have several choices regarding hyphenation: let Writer do it automatically (using its
hyphenation dictionaries), insert conditional hyphens manually where necessary, or don’t
hyphenate at all.
Automatic hyphenation
To turn automatic hyphenation of words on or off:
1) Press F11 (⌘+T on Mac) to open the Styles and Formatting window, or, if the Sidebar is
open, click on the Styles and Formatting tab to open the Styles and Formatting deck.
2) On the Paragraph Styles page (Figure 77), right-click on Default Style and select Modify.
Figure 77: Modifying a style
3) On the Paragraph Style dialog (Figure 78), go to the Text Flow page.
4) Under Hyphenation, select or deselect the Automatically option. Click OK to save.
Note
Turning on hyphenation for paragraph Default Style affects all other paragraph styles
that are based on Default Style. You can individually change other styles so that
hyphenation is not active; for example, you might not want headings to be hyphenated.
Any styles that are not based on Default Style are not affected. See Chapter 3, Using
Styles and Templates, for more about styles based on other styles.
