Using Hyphenation

To automatically hyphenate the current or selected paragraphs, choose Format - Paragraph, and then click the Text Flow tab. You can also apply automatic hyphenation to a paragraph style. In text where automatic hyphenation is enabled, the Hyphenation dialog will not find any word to hyphenate.

When LibreOffice finds a word that requires hyphenation, do one of the following options:

- To accept the hyphenation of the displayed word, click Hyphenate.

- To change the hyphenation of the displayed word, click the left or right arrow below the word, and then click Hyphenate. The left and right buttons are enabled for words with multiple hyphenation points.

- To reject the hyphenation of the displayed word, click Skip. This word will not be hyphenated.

- To automatically hyphenate the remaining part of the selection or the document, click Hyphenate All and answer "Yes" to the following question.

- To end hyphenation, click Close. The hyphenation that is applied already will not be reverted. You can use Edit - Undo to undo all hyphenation that was applied while the Hyphenation dialog was open.

To exclude paragraphs from the automatic hyphenation, select the paragraphs, choose Format - Paragraph, click the Text Flow tab, and then clear the Automatically check box in the Hyphenation area.

To disable the Hyphenation dialog and always hyphenate automatically, choose LibreOffice - Preferences Tools - Options - Languages and Locales - Writing Aids, and select the Hyphenate without inquiry check box.

To manually enter a hyphen directly in the document, click in the word where you want to add the hyphen, and then press Command Ctrl+Minus sign (-).

To insert a non-breaking (protected) hyphen directly in the document, click in the word that you want to hyphenate, and then press Shift+Command Ctrl+Minus sign(-).

To hide soft hyphens, choose LibreOffice - Preferences Tools - Options - LibreOffice Writer - Formatting Aids, and then clear the Custom hyphens check box.
