Note
Turning on hyphenation for the Default paragraph style affects
all other paragraph styles that are based on Default . 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 are not
affected. For more on paragraph styles, see Chapter 6
(Introduction to Styles) and Chapter 7 (Working with Styles).
You can also set hyphenation choices through Tools > Options >
Language Settings > Writing Aids. In Options , near the bottom of
the dialog box, scroll down to find the hyphenation settings (see
Figure 81).

number of characters after a line break, select the item, and then click
