Working with Hyphenation
When you select the Hyphenate check box in the Paragraph panel, Illustrator automatic-
ally adds hyphenation as you need it in your document based on the options set in the
Hyphenation dialog box. If the Hyphenate check box is not checked, you need to select
any existing type to apply hyphenation. The Hyphenation options allow you to specify
how long a word needs to be before hyphenation takes place, the maximum number of hy-
phens you can use, and what balance you want between better spacing and fewer hyphens.
Change Hyphenation Options
Select any type tool, and then select the type that you want to hyphenate.
Select the
Paragraph
panel.
To enable hyphenation, select the
Hyphenate
check box.
