Text Flow

Specify hyphenation and pagination options.

Hyphenation

Specify the hyphenation options for text documents.

Automatically

Automatically inserts hyphens where they are needed in a paragraph.

Characters at line end

Enter the minimum number of characters to leave at the end of the line before a hyphen is inserted.

Characters at line begin

Enter the minimum number of characters that must appear at the beginning of the line after the hyphen.

Compound constituent characters at line end

Set 3 (or more) characters to improve the hyphenation in Danish, Dutch, German, Hungarian, Norwegian and Swedish by preferring the hyphenation between constituents of a compound word instead of breaking the second (third etc.) constituent right after its first 2 characters.

Maximum consecutive hyphenated lines

Enter the maximum number of consecutive lines that can be hyphenated.

Minimum word length in characters

Enter the minimum word length in characters that can be hyphenated.

Hyphenation zone

To reduce hyphenation, enter the length of the hyphenation zone. Instead of the possible hyphenation, the line will break between words, if the remaining horizontal space does not exceed the hyphenation zone. Hyphenation zone results in enlarged spaces between words in justified text, and greater distance from paragraph margins in non-justified text.

Hyphenate words in CAPS

Hyphenate words written entirely in capital letters, such as initialisms.

Hyphenate last word

Hyphenate the last word of paragraphs. Disabling this feature prevents the creation of almost empty lines containing only half a word.

Control hyphenation in the last line of a column, page or spread.

Page

Do not split paragraph

Shifts the entire paragraph to the next page or column after a break is inserted.

Keep with next paragraph

Orphan control

Specifies the minimum number of lines in a paragraph before a page break. Select this check box, and then enter a number in the Lines box. If the number of lines at the end of the page is less than the amount specified in the Lines box, the paragraph is shifted to the next page.

Widow control

Specifies the minimum number of lines in a paragraph in the first page after the break. Select this check box, and then enter a number in the Lines box. If the number of lines at the top of the page is less than the amount specified in the Lines box, the position of the break is adjusted.
