• • • • • Microsoft Publisher puts you at the helm of your own custom printing press, but unlike the typesetters of the early days, you don't always automatically have as much control. Publisher 'thinks' it is helping your documents by automatically hyphenating words, but this may cause disruption for your readers or just break up lines awkwardly. To take that control back, you have to force Publisher to stop hyphenating your text blocks. Removing word hyphenation takes just a couple of clicks.
