Hyphenation and line breaks

Adjust hyphenation automatically

The settings you choose for hyphenation affect the horizontal spacing of lines and the aesthetic appeal of type on a

page. Hyphenation options determine whether words can be hyphenated and, if so, what breaks are allowable.

1 To use automatic hyphenation, do any of the following:

• To turn automatic hyphenation on or off, select or deselect the Hyphenate option in the Paragraph panel.

• To apply hyphenation to specific paragraphs, first select only the paragraphs that you want to affect.

• To choose a hyphenation dictionary, choose a language from the Language menu at the bottom of the Character

panel.

2 To specify options, choose Hyphenation from the Paragraph panel menu, and specify the following options:

Words Longer Than _ Letters Specifies the minimum number of characters for hyphenated words.

After First _ Letters And Before Last _ Letters Specifies the minimum number of characters at the beginning or end

of a word that can be broken by a hyphen. For example, by specifying 3 for these values, aromatic would be

hyphenated as aro- matic instead of ar- omatic or aromat- ic.

Hyphen Limit Specifies the maximum number of consecutive lines on which hyphenation may occur. Zero means

unlimited consecutive hyphens are allowed at ends of lines.

Hyphenation Zone Specifies a distance from the right edge of a paragraph, demarcating a portion of the line where

hyphenation is not allowed. A setting of 0 allows all hyphenation. This option applies only when you use the Adobe

Single-line Composer.

Hyphenate Capitalized Words Select to prevent capitalize words from being hyphenated.

Note: Hyphenation settings apply only to Roman characters; double-byte characters available in Chinese, Japanese, and

Korean fonts are not affected by these settings.

Use the hyphenation dictionary

Illustrator uses Proximity language dictionaries to determine when to hyphenate words. These dictionaries let you

specify a different language for as little as a single character of text. You can select a default dictionary and customize

the dictionary in the Preferences dialog box.

1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Hyphenation (Windows) or Illustrator > Preferences > Hyphenation (Mac OS).

2 Do any of the following:

• To choose a default hyphenation dictionary, select an option for Default Language, and click OK.

• To add a word to the exceptions list, type the word in the New Entry text box, and click Add.

• To remove a word from the exceptions list, select the word, and click Delete.
