Hyphenation settings apply only to Roman characters; double-byte characters available in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fonts are not
affected by these settings.
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.
If you apply the No Break option to too many adjacent characters, the text may wrap in the middle of a word. However, if you apply
the No Break option to more than a single line of text, none of the text will appear.
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 justification 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 considering 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.
