Chapter 3: Managing Text Documents With Writer

Automatic hyphenation

In OpenOffice.org, automatic hyphenation is turned off by default. The following steps are

useful for enabling hyphenation on an “as needed” basis:

1. For one or more selected paragraphs, open the context menu and select paragraph.

2. For all paragraphs formatted with a certain Paragraph Style, open the context menu in one

of the paragraphs and select Edit Paragraph Style.

a) In the next dialogue, click on the Text Flow tab.

b) Under Hyphenation, checkoff Automatically.

3. To enable hyphenation in all paragraphs, edit the parent paragraph style of all derived

paragraph styles.

a) In the next dialogue, click on the Text Flow tab.

b) Under Hyphenation, checkoff Automatically.

To enable automatic hyphenation without queries, select Tools > Options > Language

Settings > Writing Aids > Options and select Hyphenate without inquiry.

Manual Hyphenation

• For manual hyphenation, place the cursor at the point where the word should be separated

and press Ctrl and -.

The word will be separated if it is possible, even if automatic hyphenation is turned off for

the paragraph.

If a hyphen is entered directly, Writer will not apply the automatic hyphenation for that word.

Let's assume the word “Antarctica” would be hyphenated: An-tarcti-ca, but this

should be: Ant-arc-ti-ca. Enter all three hyphens manually (directly), including the one

between “i” and “ca” as is used in automatic hyphenation.

There is a quick way to prevent a particular word from being affected by the hyphenation (or Spellcheck)

functionality:

• Select the word and choose Format > Character. On the Font tab select Language None.

If a word should be permanently set to prevent automatic hyphenation such that it will never be separated, place it

in an active user-defined dictionary with an equals sign after it:

1. Choose Tools > Options > Language Settings > Writing Aids.

2. Select a User-defined dictionary.

3. Click the Edit button. Where there is no user-defined dictionary, as yet, create one by clicking the New button.

4. In the Edit Custom Dictionary dialogue, enter the word. e.g., ”

Companyname=

” (without quotation marks)

5. Click Close to close the dialogue.

6. Click

Now, the word “

Companyname

” will never be hyphenated.
