Pages ‘09: Using Automatic Hyphenation

Using Automatic Hyphenation

By default, Pages automatically hyphenates words if they need to break at the end of a line.

Here are ways to turn hyphenation on or off:
  • To turn hyphenation on or off for the entire document, click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Document button, and then select or deselect Hyphenate (in the Document pane).

  • To turn off hyphenation for a particular paragraph, select the paragraph, click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Text button, click More, and then select “Remove hyphenation for paragraph.”

  • To turn hyphenation on or off for a word, click the word while holding down the Control key, and then choose Never Hyphenate or Allow Hyphenation from the shortcut menu.

    Turning hyphenation on or off for a word will affect every instance of that word in your document.
