Some quick testings reveal that it works in Scribus but you have to get rid of the space between two words before hitting shift-return to force the linebreak. Otherwise, with the space left on the previous line, the line will be left align and you don't want that; leaving the space on the next line will end up with a line beginning by a space, and you don't want that either. In both cases, taking away the space will give you the expected result. > > > > Attaching a screenshot of the problem. > For some reasons, I don't see your original post and I don't see your screenshot but I think I get the picture anyway ? sort of speak! > > > > Thanks in advance > I just wonder why you want to get rid of hyphenated text.

For instance, to quickly push a word on the next line if the typographic color needs it, to avoid ugly spaces elsewhere, to fill a loose line, to deal with a long url for which you'd want no hyphen to interfere with, etc. Or, to enhance manually the appearance of a ragged text, pushing a word here and there.
