Hyphenation in Designer


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

I am pretty much a Noob in Affinity, so I don't know if this question is a bit unusual.

Right now im working on a Textlayout (I know publisher would be the right tool) and i can't get a neat Layout with good Hyphenation - or Hyphenation at all.

Single Words always jump the whole row instead of being "cut".

Im not a native english speaker, so i hope i made myself clear  :)

Anyway...thanks in advance guys. 

Johannes

Welcome to the Affinity forums @Dilly!

Hyphenation is a much requested feature in AD. The only two workarounds are a) do the hyphenation in AD yourself b) if you own APu as well, Edit in Publisher, enable hyphenation and Edit in Designer again.

Check in the Text Styles Panel, in the Languages Tab/section.

Unless I'm missing something, Designer seems to have an autohyphenation feature. I say this because I've spent an hour looking for a way to turn it off!

Does anyone know where to get at this?

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

You cannot enable or disable auto-hyphenation in Designer. That document (or at least that text style) must have come from Publisher or some other application that includes auto-hyphenation.

What you can do, though, is edit the Text Style, and in the Languages section you can set the Hyphenation Language to None.
