Changing the text direction (for Arabic text)<br />

For text in Arabic script, there’s an additional option named Text direction where<br />

you can set the writing direction of the paragraph to right-to-left. See also chapter<br />

“Working with Arabic text” (page 487).<br />

Hyphenation<br />

The purpose of hyphenation is to regularize the right margin of text by breaking up<br />

long words that occur at the ends of lines.<br />

In TextMaker, hyphenation is completely automatic and takes effect as you type<br />

(unless you have turned it off). So, ordinarily you do not need to concern yourself<br />

with it at all.<br />

However, you do need to make sure that you have set the language correctly.<br />

Naturally, the hyphenator will not produce correct results if you let it separate, for<br />

example, Spanish words according to English hyphenation rules.<br />
