Adjust hyphenation automatically
The settings you choose for hyphenation affect the horizontal spacing of lines and the aesthetic appeal of type on a
page. Hyphenation options determine whether words can be hyphenated and, if so, what breaks are allowable.
1
To use automatic hyphenation, do any of the following:
•
To turn automatic hyphenation on or off, select or deselect the Hyphenate option in the Paragraph panel.
•
To apply hyphenation to specific paragraphs, first select only the paragraphs that you want to affect.
•
To choose a hyphenation dictionary, choose a language from the Language menu at the bottom of the Character
panel.
2
To specify options, choose Hyphenation from the Paragraph panel menu, and specify the following options:
Words Longer Than _ Letters
Specifies the minimum number of characters for hyphenated words.
After First _ Letters And Before Last _ Letters
Specifies the minimum number of characters at the beginning or end of
a word that can be broken by a hyphen. For example, by specifying 3 for these values, aromatic would be hyphenated
as aro- matic instead of ar- omatic or aromat-
ic.
Hyphen Limit
Specifies the maximum number of consecutive lines on which hyphenation may occur.
Hyphenation Zone
Specifies a distance from the right edge of a paragraph, demarcating a portion of the line where
hyphenation is not allowed. A setting of 0 allows all hyphenation. This option applies only when you use the Adobe
Single-line Composer.
