Re: [libreoffice-users] Improper English hyphenation
Are you referring to the characters?; if so, you can add the hyphen wherever by clicking on that in the menu -- choosing the character you desire; if not, then I haven't a clue as to what you're doing - I'm quite curious though.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Improper English hyphenation
I rarely use any hyphenations. I do know that you must go to ToolsOptionsLanguage Settingswriting Aids and go to the options box and check the hyphen options, that I find at the bottom of the list there. The Available language modules show that my setup has Libhyphen Hyphenator listed and checked. The only real time I would think about using hyphens would be when I to a fully-justified text option. I do not use that much and I have not used the the hyphen option in a fully-justified text since the last versions of the 3.4.x line [I think].

Re: [libreoffice-users] Improper English hyphenation
It's interesting you have that problem. I have found that Apache OpenOffice does not properly hyphenate US English, but that LibreOffice does. Sorry I don't have a solution for you, but it's interesting that the problem would crop up in LibO. Virgil -Original Message- From: J.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Improper English hyphenation
You said that you downloaded and installed an English dictionary. Not all of the dictionaries out there have the hyphen ability. Where did you get the dictionary from? Are you sure it has the hyphenation ability? This American English extension does have the hyphen ability http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.6-installs/add-on-dictionaries-large-list/kpp-american-english-dictionary-plus-tech-words-773407-words.oxt You will find British and Canadian versions here. http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/american-british-canadian-spelling-hyphen-thesaurus-dictionaries On 11/18/2012 07:49 AM, VA wrote: It's interesting you have that problem.
