Hyphenating words

hyphenation dictionaries), insert conditional hyphens manually where necessary, or don’t
hyphenate at all.

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.
