Re: [users] Unwanted hyphenation
Thank you. But before I can press ahead with the hyphenation endnote problem, I now (after using OO constantly for a year) have a new crisis caused I know not how. Suddenly OOWriter will open none of my documents. I have tried a new installation, but am told I have programmes running which must be closed (I have not). I see that I have had for a long time three OO icons on my screen. They read: (1) OOo_2.4.2_Win32Intel_install_wJRE_en-US.exe (2) Open Office... 2.4 (en-US)... (3) OOo_2.4.1_ All my work is at a standstill. Can someone please, please tell me what to do?

Re: [users] Unwanted hyphenation
I have Vista, and can confirm that what Harold describes is correct. Some additional information: - Make sure that when you right click, it is not on a word that is shown as mis-spelled; otherwise, you get a different context menu, and you won't have Edit Paragraph Style as a choice. - Once you click on Edit Paragraph Style, click on the tab that says Text Flow and see if the box under hyphenation that says Automatically is checked (or ticked, depending on what term you use). If it is checked, then click it to uncheck it. That is most likely the cause of the problem.

Re: [users] Unwanted hyphenation
Both Harold and I gave you advice on finding the Edit paragraph style selection. Without knowing a little more, it's tough to say why you can't find this. Let's try this -- when you right click on a word (making sure it is not a word flagged as being misspelled), what menu choices do you see? When I do it, the first 3 menu choices are Default formatting, Font, and Size. Is that what you see? If not, then what do you see? If you see these as the first 3 menu choices, if you keep moving down the list, do you see Edit paragraph style as a selection? If not, how many menu items do you have when you right click on a word in a paragraph? Although it might not make perfect sense to you if you don't have a good concept of styles, Brian's advice is correct -- if you're getting hyphenation happening automatically in all paragraphs, that sounds like a paragraph style issue. Get back to us and let us know what happens when you try the above. thomas steel wrote: My problems opening docs with OO with uncommanded changes of font have somehow gone away (no more idea how than I have how they occurred).

I cannot find any trace of the process recommended by Brian for 'removing the tick from hyphenation'. 2. An unfortunate consequence of 'removing the tick from automatically' was that the whole file fell into another font. When I corrected this, all the 134 endnotes stayed in the wrong font. From bitter experience I know that the only way I've found to cure this is to change each note individually, which must be an absurd mistake. Can anyone help?

Is this the right variant of the OO address to get help? My system has suddenly started hyphenating words at the ends of lines I cannot find the way to stop it. Can anyone explain the problem simply? I'd be very grateful. T. Steel Quoting from the help files: QUOTE Automatic hyphenation Automatic hyphenation inserts hyphens where they are needed in a paragraph. This option is only available for paragraph styles and individual paragraphs. To automatically hyphenate text in a paragraph: 1. Right-click in a paragraph, and choose *Paragraph*. 2. Click the *Text Flow* vnd.sun.star.help://swriter/text/swriter/01/05030200.xhp?Language=en-USSystem=WINUseDB=noDbPAR=swriter tab. 3. In the *Hyphenation *area, select the *Automatically* check box. 4. Click *OK*. To automatically hyphenate text in multiple paragraphs: If you want to automatically hyphenate more than one paragraph, use a paragraph style. For example, enable the automatic hyphenation option for the Default paragraph style, and then apply the style to the paragraphs that you want to hyphenate. 1. Choose *Format - Styles and Formatting*, and then click the *Paragraph Styles* icon. 2. Right-click the paragraph style that you want to hyphenate, and then choose *Modify*. 3. Click the *Text Flow *tab. 4. In the *Hyphenation* area, select the *Automatically* check box. 5. Click *OK*. 6. Apply the style to the paragraphs that you want to hyphenate. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Not without knowing whether you needed to disable automatic hyphenation for paragraphs or for paragraph styles (or both?). (And possibly not even then!)
