Thanks Stephan! I had to try out what you said, but I think understand what manual hyphenation does now. My testing revealed that I didn't need to check whether you need the dash every time you make the line longer or shorter because: 1. If you don't need the dash, the whole word will appear on th

In most word processors and editors I've used back in the dark ages--say, more than five years ago (and some sane versions still do) you could simply type - (i.e., tap the 'ENTER' key while holding down the 'CTRL' key) at the point where you wanted to break the line and continue typing the same lin

Hi In the past using different software (Ami Pro & lotus smartsuite) I had created a text box to go past the margins or reduced the font size to keep it on the same line (or both); it works for me as I don't particularly like word wrapping or word splitting. But these 2 ideas might help in th

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I guess hyphenation could be useful in some cases, but it seems to be more of a luxury for me to have that feature at the moment because I'm still not sure how the Tools --> Language --> Hyphenation option works. However, I did look into the Word Wrap option. All

Thanks for the reply, but even after unchecking "while typing" under Format --> Autocorrect, my long word was still bumped down to the next line after it could no longer fit in the line it started on.
