My problems opening docs with OO & with uncommanded changes of font have somehow gone away (no more idea how than I have how they occurred). I am also clear how to remove automatic hyphenation for a paragraph. I have installed OO 3. Thank you very much. But I cannot fathom Brian's instructions about disabling automatic hyphenation for a 'paragraph style'. I cannot find 'Edit paragraph style' anywhere in the right-click route. I want to prevent automatic hyphenation happening ever, anywhere in my work. What am I missing, please? TS

Another try! Is this the right variant of the OO address to get help?

Yup.

My system has suddenly started hyphenating words at the ends of lines & I cannot find the way to stop it. Can anyone explain the problem simply?

Automatic hyphenation is a paragraph property as well as a paragraph style property. You may (unwittingly) have selected automatic hyphenation for the paragraph style that you are using. Alternatively, you may just have selected this property for a single paragraph. Note that, in this case, if you press Enter to start a new paragraph, this will inherit the properties of the previous paragraph; in this way, you may have created a number of consecutive paragraphs separately formatted for automatic hyphenation.

o To disable automatic hyphenation for a paragraph or paragraphs, go to Format | Paragraph... | Text Flow | Hyphenation (or right-click | Paragraph... | Text Flow | Hyphenation) and remove the tick from Automatically.

o To disable automatic hyphenation for a paragraph style, go to right-click | Edit Paragraph Style... | Text Flow | Hyphenation and remove the tick from Automatically.

You may need to try both these techniques, depending on exactly which unwanted setting has become ticked.

I trust this helps.
