To change the minimal number of characters for hyphenation, the minimum number

Hyphenate without inquiry

Specifies that you will never be asked to manually hyphenate words that the

hyphenation dictionary does not recognize. If this box is not selected, when a

word is not recognized, a dialog box will open where you can manually enter

hyphens.

Hyphenate special regions

Specifies that hyphenation will also be carried out in footnotes, headers, and

footers.

Hyphenation options set on the Writing Aids dialog box are effective only if

hyphenation is turned on through paragraph styles.

Choices on the Writing Aids dialog box for Characters before line break and

Characters after line break override settings in paragraph styles for Characters at

line end and Characters at line begin.

Manual hyphenation

To manually hyphenate words, do not use a normal hyphen, which will remain visible

even if the word is no longer at the end of a line when you add or delete text or

change margins or font size. Instead, use a conditional hyphen, which is visible only

when required.

To insert a conditional hyphen inside a word, click where you want the hyphen to

appear and press Control+hyphen. The word will be hyphenated at this position

when it is at the end of the line, even if automatic hyphenation for this paragraph is

switched off.

Using AutoCorrect

Writer’s AutoCorrect function has a long list of common misspellings and typing

errors, which it corrects automatically. For example, “hte” will be changed to “the”.

Select Tools > AutoCorrect Options to open the AutoCorrect dialog box. There you

can define what strings of text are corrected and how. In most cases, the defaults are

fine.

AutoCorrect is turned on when Writer is installed. To turn it off, uncheck Format >

AutoCorrect > While Typing.

To stop Writer replacing a specific spelling, go to the Replace tab, highlight the word

pair, and click Delete.

To add a new spelling to the list, type it into the Replace and With boxes on the

Replace tab, and click New.

See the different pages of the dialog box for the wide variety of other options

available to fine-tune AutoCorrect.

Tip

AutoCorrect can be used as a quick way to insert special characters.
