USING INCOPY CS4 223 Typography 3 Select the Hyphenate option. 4 Make changes to the following settings as needed, and then click OK: Words With At Least _ Letters Specify the minimum number of characters for hyphenated words. After First _ Letters / Before Last _ Letters Specify 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 Specify the maximum number of hyphens that can appear on consecutive lines. Zero means unlimited hyphens. Hyphenation Zone Specify the amount of white space allowed at the end of a line of unjustified text before hyphenation begins. This option applies only when you're using the Single-line Composer with nonjustified text. Better Spacing / Fewer Hyphens To alter the balance between these settings, adjust the slider at the bottom of the dialog box. Hyphenate Capitalized Words To prevent capitalized words from being hyphenated, deselect this option. Hyphenate Last Word To prevent last words in paragraphs from being hyphenated, deselect this option. Hyphenate Across Column To prevent words from being hyphenated across a column, frame, or page, deselect this option. Prevent unwanted word breaks By using nonbreaking hyphens, you can prevent certain words from breaking at all-for example, proper names or words which, when broken, become unattractive fragments. By using nonbreaking spaces, you can also keep multiple words from breaking-for example, clusters of initials and a last name (P. T. Barnum). Prevent text from breaking 1 Select the text you want to keep on the same line. 2 Choose No Break from the Character panel menu or the Control panel menu. Another way to prevent a word from breaking is to place a discretionary hyphen at the beginning of the word. Press Ctrl+Shift+- (Windows) or Command+Shift+- (Mac OS) to insert a discretionary hyphen. Create a nonbreaking hyphen 1 Using the Type tool , click where you want to insert the hyphen. 2 Choose Type > Insert Special Character > Hyphens And Dashes > Nonbreaking Hyphen. Create a nonbreaking space 1 Using the Type tool , click where you want to insert the space. 2 Choose Type > Insert White Space> Nonbreaking Space (or any other white space character). The Nonbreaking Space varies in width depending on point size, the justification setting, and word space settings, whereas the Nonbreaking Space (Fixed Width) character maintains the same width regardless of context. Change Justification settings Use the Justification panel to precisely control how word spacing, letterspacing, and glyph scaling. Adjusting spacing is especially useful with justified type, although you can also adjust spacing for unjustified type. Updated 29 April 2009
