00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,720
Hi there! In this video we’ll be 
talking about hyphenation settings,  

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,720
in InDesign, so let’s get started.

3
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:19,680
To get to the hyphenation option, select the text, 
and go to the burger menu on the top right corner  

4
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:25,760
of the toolbar above, and select hyphenation. 
In the popup menu, if you uncheck this box,  

5
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:31,440
the hyphenation option will be completely 
turned off, so let’s turn it back on. Now  

6
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:36,640
you’ll find three options here. The first one is 
to turn the ‘hyphenate capitalized words’ off,  

7
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:42,640
or on. By default, it is on. So I want you 
to focus on this name that I’ve typed in.  

8
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,760
It’s a name, and it’s been hyphenated 
because of its location on this line,  

9
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:52,240
so the moment you uncheck the box, you’ll 
find the name jumping to the following line.

10
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,840
The next one is ‘hyphenate last word’, so 
it applies to the last word in the column.  

11
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:04,480
Now I want you to focus on this non-sensical 
last word of the column. The moment I uncheck  

12
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:09,520
the ‘hyphenate last word’ option, it moves 
to the next line. Good bye hyphenation!

13
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:16,480
Now let’s move on to the last option here, and for 
that I want you to focus on this word that is half  

14
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,680
on this column, and the rest has jumped to 
the next column, so let’s uncheck ‘hyphenate  

15
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,560
across column’ option, and it moves to 
the next column, so using these settings,  

16
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:32,000
you can really make your paragraphs, or columns 
look nicer, by getting rid of the ugly hyphens.

17
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:38,080
You can also completely turn the hyphenation 
off from the paragraph control settings,  

18
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,560
and you shall find the option 
sitting here. Just uncheck the box,  

19
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,840
and hyphenation will be turned off. Check 
the box again, and hyphenation returns.

20
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:54,000
For the next one, let me type 
in the word ‘automatic’ here.  

21
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,000
You can see that it’s been hyphenated, so let’s 
select it, and go to edit, and then spelling,  

22
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:07,360
and select ‘user dictionary.’ Since we’ve selected 
the word, you can find it here, so just click the  

23
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,960
‘hyphenate’ option on the right. Now you’ll find 
the word divided into four parts by two tilde  

24
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:18,640
symbol between each parts. Now suppose we don’t 
want the ‘matic’ part of the word ‘automatic’ to  

25
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:25,280
be divided, so all I need to do is remove both 
the tilde symbols in between ’mat’ and ‘ic’,  

26
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:31,040
and then click the ‘add’ button, and you can find 
that it instantly reflects in the text as well.

27
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:37,760
Now there are two options for this word to be 
divided. Either the ‘au’ part will be on one line,  

28
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:43,120
and the rest on the second, or ‘auto’ 
will be on one, and ‘matic’ will be on  

29
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:48,880
second. In a situation where InDesign will be 
forced to divide this word to hyphenate it,  

30
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:55,520
we can always prioritize the division, and to do 
that, let’s remove one tilde symbol between ‘au’  

31
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:01,520
and ’to’, so now the division will be prioritized 
in this part, throwing the rest to the next line.  

32
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:07,680
In case you just love the word ‘automatic’ to 
such an extent that you don’t want it hyphenated,  

33
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,160
come what may, so remove all the 
tilde symbols between the word,  

34
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:17,280
and add it before the word, and then click 
the ‘add’ option, and instantly you’ll find  

35
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,720
hyphenation being removed from the word in the 
text. Let’s hit ‘done’ to come out of this panel.

36
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,320
Now focus on these words ‘match box’, 
which are divided into two lines.  

37
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:34,240
Say I never want these two words to appear on 
separate lines, whenever they appear in the text.  

38
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:39,760
So I’m going to select the words, and 
go to window, and then type and tables,  

39
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:45,520
and select ‘character.’ From the popup 
menu, click the burger menu on top right,  

40
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,160
and select the ‘no break’ option, and 
the words will appear on one line.

41
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,680
Lastly, to turn the hyphenation off, 
by default, let’s close this document.  

42
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,840
Now from the welcome screen, go 
to window, and then workspace,  

43
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,880
and let’s select ‘digital publishing’, and 
you’ll arrive at this screen, so with the  

44
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:12,880
type tool selected, ensure that you are on the 
paragraph control settings toolbar, and you shall  

45
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:18,800
find the ‘hyphenate’ option sitting there. Just 
uncheck it, and it shall be turned off by default.

46
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:26,080
To verify it, let’s go to file, and then new, 
and select document, and just hit create,  

47
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,760
and you shall find the 
hyphenate option is turned off.

48
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,840
Alright guys! That is all for this session,  

49
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:43,760
and I’m going to see you in the 
next one, in just a bit. Good bye!
