• Hyphens in a Row: Specify how many words can be hyphenated in consecutive line ends.
• Hyphenation Zone: Specify the area before the right indentation in which hyphenation
can occur. For example, if you set the hyphenation zone to .05", the word is hyphenated
when an acceptable hyphenation point falls within .05" of the right indentation. The word
preceding the hyphenated word must not fall within the hyphenation zone.
• Justification Method: Specify how words and characters are spaced.
• Space: Specify the minimum and maximum amount of space between words in paragraphs
that have justified or forced alignment. Specify the optimum amount of space between
words in all paragraphs, regardless of their alignment.
• Char: Specify the minimum and maximum amount of space between characters in
paragraphs that have justified or forced alignment. Specify the optimum amount of space
between characters in all paragraphs, regardless of their alignment.
• Flush Zone: Specify the area before the right indentation within which the last word in
the last line of a justified paragraph must fall in order to justify that line. For example, if
you enter 1", the last line of a paragraph to which the hyphenation and justification
specification is applied will not be justified until the last word in the line falls within 1"
of the right indentation.
• Single Word Justify: Specify whether a single word on a line in a justified paragraph
extends from the left indentation to the right indentation. When the box is unchecked,
a single word on a line is left-aligned.
Specifying hyphenation exceptions
In most language editions of QuarkXPress, you can create language-specific lists of
hyphenation exceptions. The Hyphenation Exceptions dialog box (Utilities menu) has a
Language drop-down menu that lets you specify which language a hyphenation exception
applies to. When a paragraph is automatically hyphenated, the application checks the list
of hyphenation exceptions for the appropriate paragraph language.
The Suggested Hyphenation dialog box (Utilities menu) displays the recommended
hyphenation of a word that is based on the hyphenation method specified for the paragraph
and the hyphenation exceptions for the paragraph's language.
Using discretionary hyphens
In addition to hyphenating text automatically, you can control line breaks and text flow
by inserting manual, or discretionary, hyphens (Command+- [hyphen]/Ctrl+- [hyphen]).
A discretionary hyphen is inserted only when a word is broken at the end of a line.
Controlling tracking
Tracking lets you adjust the space between selected characters and words for copyfitting
and typographic effects. Tracking values are expressed as 1/200 of an em space. A positive
