    Hi,

    I'm putting together a magazine in order to help my school out and I've found that when working in indesign you can end up with a lot of hyphons when the text is justified.

    Here is an example:

    <a href=”https://tinypic.com?ref=30dhs0h&#8221; target=”_blank”><img src=”https://i55.tinypic.com/30dhs0h.jpg&#8221; border=”0″ alt=”Image and video hosting by TinyPic”></a>

    If I go to the fourth line and hit enter before the “op-” I then get the hyphon moving up to the second line and appearing on another work!!! Arrrggghhhhh!!!

    Whats the best way to stop this happening and getting rid of the hypons?

    Thanks

    I'm looking at your image and your text looks good to me, I mean you only got few hyphons. You can play around with hyphenation settings, or you can check optical margin aligment in Story panel so you can push hyphons outside the margin and align text a little bit better.

    I agree with Shone1505 — first of all, that's not really “a lot”!

    Secondly, this is the price that comes with justification. You can choose between a nice even spacing OR lots of hyphens, but you cannot have both. And this preference can be set in the Hyphenation settings dialog.

    Cool…. it makes sense.

    Thanks for this.

    I like the article about “rivers” too! That's a new term I now know and it makes sense.

    Thanks again!
