Click Hyphenate to see the word’s default hyphenation. Tildes (~) indicate possible hyphenation points.

7

If you don’t like the hyphenation points, follow these guidelines to indicate your preferred hyphenation of the word:

• Type one tilde (~) to indicate the best possible hyphenation points, or the only acceptable hyphenation point, in

the word.

• Type two tildes (~~) to indicate your second choice.

• Type three tildes (~~~) to indicate a poor but acceptable hyphenation point.

• If you want the word never to be hyphenated, type a tilde before its first letter.

If you need to include an actual tilde in a word, type a backslash before the tilde (\~).

8

Click Add, and then click Done. The word is added to the currently selected Dictionary List.

Note: Remember that hyphenation points interact with the hyphenation settings in your documents. As a result, the word
might not break where you expect it to. Control these settings by choosing Hyphenation in the Paragraph panel menu. (See

Hyphenate text

.)

Export a word list

You can export word lists to a text file (.txt) and then import that list of words into a user dictionary in InCopy . The
words in the text file must be separated by a space, tab, or paragraph return. You can export added words and removed
words, but you cannot export ignored words, which are used only in the current session.

Choose the language from the Language menu and the dictionary from the Target menu that contains the list of
words you want to export.

Click Export, specify the file name and location, and then click Save.

The list of words is saved in a text file. You can edit this list of words in any text editor, and then import the word list.
You can also send the word list to others, who can import it into their user dictionaries.
