Reply To: import hyphenation excepts from file?

So far as I know, you can only import a .txt file into the hyphenation exceptions.

Since I don’t know what font InDesign uses for it’s dialogue boxes and menus, you may not be even to copy and paste the words in without losing the accents.

The only thing I can see you doing is importing the file as you normally do and then doing search and replaces to insert the discretionary hyphens.

Or, possibly, do a spell check and when each word pops up, add to the dictionary, and then go into library once they are added and add the break points?

If this is a one-time document and not a project you will be doing all the time, then I’d forget about the spell check.

Sorry I can’t offer any thing else. Maybe someone else will chime in with an answer.
