Figure 84: Turning on automatic hyphenation
3) Under Hyphenation, select or deselect the Automatically option.
4) Click OK to save.
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 85).
