Prevent words from breaking

You can prevent words from breaking at the end of lines—for example, proper names or words that could be misread

when hyphenated. You can also keep multiple words or groups of words together—for example, clusters of initials

and a last name.

1 Select the characters you want to prevent from breaking.

2 Choose No Break from the Character panel menu.

Note: If you apply the No Break option to too many adjacent characters, the text may wrap in the middle of a word.

Composition methods

The appearance of type on the page depends on a complex interaction of processes called composition. Using the

word spacing, letterspacing, glyph spacing, and hyphenation options you’ve selected, Adobe applications evaluate

possible line breaks and choose the one that best supports the specified parameters.

You can choose between two composition methods: the Adobe Every-line Composer and the Adobe Single-line

Composer. Both methods evaluate possible breaks and choose the one that best supports the hyphenation and justi

fication options you’ve specified for a given paragraph. The composition method affects only the selected paragraph

or paragraphs, so you can easily set different composition methods for different paragraphs.

Every-line Composer

The Every-line Composer considers a network of break points for a range of lines and thus can optimize earlier lines

in the paragraph in order to eliminate especially unattractive breaks later on.

The Every-line Composer approaches composition by identifying possible break points, evaluating them, and

assigning a weighted penalty based on the following principles:

• For left-, right-, or center-aligned text, lines that fall closer to the right side are favored and have a lower penalty.

• For justified text, the highest importance is given to evenness of letter and word spacing.

• Hyphenation is avoided when possible.

Single-line Composer

The Single-line composer offers a traditional approach to composing type one line at a time. This option is useful if

you want manual control over how lines break. The Single-line Composer uses the following principles when consid

ering a breakpoint:

• Longer lines are favored over shorter lines.

• In justified text, compressed or expanded word spacing is preferable to hyphenation.

• In nonjustified text, hyphenation is preferable to compressed or expanded letterspacing.

• If spacing must be adjusted, compression is better than expansion.

To choose one of these methods, select it from the Paragraph panel menu. To apply the method to all paragraphs,

first select the type object; to apply the method to the current paragraph only, first insert the cursor in that paragraph.
