Selecting Tools > Language > Hyphenation avoids searching manually through the text in
order to find words to hyphenate. This starts the following dialogue which shows all words
that could be hyphenated with the current line break, one after the other.
The syllable at which the word could best be hyphenated at the current line break is
highlighted. In the case where the word to be hyphenated should have the hyphen at an
earlier place in the word, use the left arrow button to move the highlighting to the left. Click
on Hyphenate to hyphenate the word at the highlighted place and the next word that could
be hyphenated is displayed.
When Spellcheck recognizes the word, the default hyphens are displayed as well.
Thesaurus
The OpenOffice.org thesaurus provides a means to look up words that may be used instead of
the highlighted word.
1. Highlight the word in the text for which an alternative is desired from the thesaurus. For
example, the word, clean.
2. Select Tools > Language > Thesaurus or press Ctrl+F7.
