No Hyphens?

[hippogriff]

Hello,

Is there a way to make an entire document to not auto hyphenate? It looks like I can do it one text block at a time by unchecking the "hyphenate" box in the paragraph area. How about the whole document?

Thanks!

Once again!!! With no document open go to Hyphenation and turn Hyphenation off. Open your doc and enjoy!!!

boraparis' suggestion will work for all future documents, but not existing ones. If you have used styles in your document, you can turn off hyphenation within the style definition. This will work on existing documents as long as you have used styles to format the text (which you should be doing).

If you've already set everything and you haven't used styles, there is a way to change this setting on a page-by-page basis (hope your document isn't TOO long): On each page, choose Edit > Select All to select every item on that page...it doesn't matter what kind of objects you have selected. With everything selected, click on the Type tool. Then, either click on the Paragraph button in the Control palette (docked at top or bottom of your screen probably), or open the Paragraph palette itself. Uncheck the Hyphenate check box. There will be no hyphenation on that page. Unfortunately, if you have stories that are linked from page to page, you won't be able to do this method for those text frames. You'll have to use your type cursor and choose Select All to highlight the text in the story, then uncheck the box. Moral of the story: use styles so changes can be made quickly and easily.
