Does anyone find discretionary hyphens as useless as I do? It appears that they only work if hyphenation is turned on in the paragraph style, but if the paragraph already hyphenates itself, there is little need for them.
I turn hyphenation off because I prefer not to have hyphenated paragraphs. However, there are occasional instances where a word is so long that it wraps to the next line and leaves a huge white gap in the line above. It's ugly as hell. In those instances, I would like to make an exception and allow hyphenation for that word. A discretionary hyphen is supposed to do this, but won't. I could use a hard hyphen to break the text, but then if an edit ever creates reflow, it creates a problem. Since a discretionary hyphen is an override, why isn't it set up to also work in unhyphenated paragraphs?
