Wrapping and hyphenating text

Your text will read much better if you make sure that you’ve chosen the right text-wrapping settings for objects and have chosen whether to use hyphenation in a story.

You can apply one of several text-wrapping styles to objects, typically shapes or picture objects that you want to appear within the text. Wrapping style options include Square, Tight, Through, Top and Bottom, and None. For example, Figure 32-16 illustrates the Tight wrapping style used for a grouped object. To choose a wrapping setting, right-click the picture or object and then click Format Picture or Format Object. Click the Layout tab in the dialog box that appears, click a choice in the Wrapping Style area, and then click OK.

The right wrapping setting makes sure that text remains readable when it flows around the object.

If you’re wrapping text tightly around an object or have a narrow textbox with large text, Publisher may by default hyphenate words to try to fill the space as well as possible. Many readers prefer not to see hyphens because they become tiring to see in longer stories. You can use these steps to turn the automatic hyphenation off in any story:

  1. Click in the story for which you’d like to change hyphenation settings.
  2. Select Tools?Language?Hyphenation (Ctrl+Shift+H). The Hyphenation dialog box shown in Figure 32-17 opens.
  3. Click the Automatically Hyphenate This Story checkbox to clear the check.
  4. Click OK. Publisher removes the hyphenation from the story you selected in Step 1.
