When auto hyphenation is active, long words at the end of a line are hyphenated. The place where they are hyphenated is controlled by a series of rules and by an editable hyphenation exception dictionary. If you find that you are not satisfied with the place where a word is breaking or if you would like to add words to the hyphenation dictionary and specify where they should be broken (e.g., proper names), you can do so by following the directions below.
| 1 | Click Proof, Hyphenation |
| 2 | The Hyphenation dialog will appear. Click the Configure tab. |
| 3 | Click New. The New Exception Dictionary dialog will appear on your screen. |
| • | Type in a new name (e.g., main2) |
| • | Click to highlight main.hyp (this will bring all of the words that have already been typed in the exception dictionary into your new dictionary). |
| 4 | The Editing dialog will appear. |
| • | Type in any new words or make changes to existing words in the panel on the left. |
| • | Use the Alphabetize button to keep the list in alphabetical order |
| • | In the Load box, click to check After Edits if you want to use the dictionary as soon as you are finished editing. Click to check the On Startup box if you want this to be your main default hyphenation dictionary. |
