[duxuser] Re: SMALL PROBLEM

Hello, George and Doreen.

The only problem with that solution is that you have to know in advance which 
words will be in the "hot zone" so that they need to be hyphenated.  The French 
table solution also has the drawback that it might occasionally hyphenate at a 
point in the word that, for English, is awkward, because it breaks a syllable 
in half.  However, it has the virtue of being automatic, and is smart enough to 
break line if too few spaces are left to justify hyphenation.

Hi Susan,

You'll find details of this in 10.4's Help, in The Menus, Document, then Hyphen 
table.

Essentially, it you place a hyphen or dash (-) where you wish the word to be 
split, and have "Dashes & Hyphens" checked, it will do what you want.

So if you write "insig-nificant" it will end the line with "insig-" (i.e. ends 
with dots 3,6) and put "nificant" on the next line.
