Toggle Hyphenation in a Particular Story
SUMMARY: Toggle whether or not a particular story should contain hyphenated text.
Text boxes in Microsoft Publisher 2007 documents may automatically contain hyphenated text, helping increase the amount of text the box can include without having to flow the text across boxes. Also, hyphenated text may prevent you from having to set up text boxes to automatically adjust text size to fit the box. Even if a story consists of multiple text boxes, hyphenated text may still be useful when creating layouts.
In some circumstances, you may have a document containing multiple stories where one should not be hyphenated. Perhaps a story contains technical jargon, driving directions, or names that look awkward when split up. Or, you may need to adjust the hyphenation zone so more or fewer words contain hyphens. Thus you can toggle hyphenation for a particular story by doing the following:
1. Click on a text box.
2. Select "Tools" - "Language" - "Hyphenation" or press Ctrl + Shift + H.
3. The "Hyphenation" dialog box appears. Note that if this text box is linked to others in a story, all text boxes linked to this story will have their hyphenation settings adjusted.
To toggle hyphenation on or off, check or uncheck "Automatically hyphenate this story" as desired.
If hyphenation is enabled, you can click in the "Hyphenation zone" box to adjust the zone where words will have hyphenations placed.
4. Click "OK" to close the dialog box. Or, for further manual adjustments, click the "Manual" button and you can approve or reject each hyphenation on a case-by-case basis.
