Justified text, but words drift apart leaving holes...
This is one of those things that has always existed that I have my not been able to solve. Partly out of laziness, partly because I don't often get to write text inside Designer. In any case, this is an "anomaly" that happens to me when I justify text. Is there a way to prevent these "holes" from occurring? I mean distribute the text horizontally and more harmoniously? Thanks!

Designer does not provide a way to enable Automatic Hyphenation. That, along with several other advanced text functions, is provided as part of Publisher.

If you have both, you can enable Automatic Hyphenation in the Paragraph panel or a Paragraph Text Style if you edit your document in Publisher.

So, I have to migrate to Publisher..

It's a short block of text, you could insert soft (discretionary) hyphens and hyphenate it manually if you don't want to open it in Publisher.

How about adjusting the tracking? (My screenshot is from the iPad version of Affinity Designer, but you can do the same thing just as easily in the desktop versions.)
