Hi Debra,

With your document open in DBT, select Document menu:  Hyphen Table and then 
“Dashes and Hyphens”.

Screen shot below shows this also.

Subject: [duxuser] Question re: dividing hyphenated words between lines

I have noticed that DBT doesn't automatically split hyphenated words between 
lines. Usually I leave it that way, but we are working on "James and the Giant 
Peach" which has a character named Old-Green-Grasshopper. DBT keeps pushing the 
entire name (22 cells) to a new line instead of splitting it between lines, 
leaving big holes in the text. Is there a formatting command or setting that I 
can use to get it to split the name after one of the hyphens?
