Normally they need to be broken for sense with soft-returns. In fact, almost all headers should be carefully examined if they go to two lines or more. Be careful with hyphens!įinally, never hyphenate a word in a headline or subhead. It is worth setting up a custom shortcut to do that quickly as you edit. In this case, you usually have to set the No Break attribute for the word (in the Option menu of the Character panel).
The final problem comes when the program hyphenates part of a compound word. Yet another problem comes when you run into something like two hyphens in a row then a normal line then two more hyphens. Page layout software allows you to set that limit. Most of us agree that two hyphens in a row should be the maximum (a three-hyphen “stack” looks odd). You can set up the hyphens when you add new words to the user dictionary (see InDesign’s help).Īnother problem is that automatic hyphenation can create hyphens for many consecutive lines.
Because typeset line endings are automatic, so is the hyphenation.
