Resetting text to the default language: To reformat a segment of text in the default<br />

language, select it and assign the Default language to it with the Format > Character<br />

command as described above.<br />

Choosing “no” language: If you format a segment of text as No language, no hyphenation<br />

will be performed on it at all. In addition, the spell checker will skip this<br />

segment.<br />

You will find additional information about this topic in section “Setting the language”<br />

beginning on page 298.<br />

Setting the hyphenation frequency<br />

If desired, you can specify how often the hyphenator should break words – or you<br />

can turn hyphenation off. You can do this separately for each paragraph as follows:<br />

First select the paragraphs of interest, then invoke the command Format > Paragraph,<br />

switch to the Text flow property sheet, and select the desired setting in the<br />

Hyphenation dropdown list.<br />

The following options are available:<br />

Setting<br />

None<br />

Always<br />

Every 2 Lines<br />

Every 3 Lines<br />

Effect<br />

No hyphenation is performed.<br />

Hyphenation is attempted in successive lines without limit. This<br />

is the default setting.<br />

Hyphenation is attempted only in every second line.<br />

Hyphenation is attempted only in every third line.<br />

Thus, with None you turn hyphenation completely off for the selected paragraph.<br />

With Always, on the other hand, you allow hyphenation to be performed whenever<br />

possible on any line of the paragraph.<br />

In some cases, it is not always a good idea to hyphenate at every point possible,<br />

and this is where the other two options come in handy. For example, text that is in<br />

narrow columns could lead to a broken word at the end of almost every line and<br />

consequently, to a reduction of the document’s legibility. Therefore, instead, you<br />

may want to use the Every 2 Lines or Every 3 Lines option to direct TextMaker to<br />

attempt hyphenation only in every second or third line.<br />
