Pagesmith can automatically hyphenate text for you.
You control hyphenation in two ways: by setting the default hyphenation for the document, and by overriding that behavior for individual paragraphs as desired.
You can adjust how aggressively Pagesmith tries to hyphenate. Whether Pagesmith hyphenates a line depends on two factors: the hyphenation setting, and the length of the line. Longer lines require stronger hyphenation settings.
You set hyphenation using the slider controls in the Hyphenation palette:
The top slider controls the default hyphenation setting for the entire document. The bottom slider allows you to override the default hyphenation setting for the selected paragraphs.
If the bottom slider is all the way to the left, then the default hyphenation setting is used. The top slider displays a dot to indicate that its value is currently being used. If the bottom slider is at any other position, then hypenation for the selected paragraphs uses the bottom slider’s value. The bottom slider then displays the dot to indicate that its value is currently being used.
