Never hyphenate word

You can use the “Never hyphenate word” function (a sub-function of the typography functions) to determine that certain individually definable words such as company or product names are generally excluded by Word from hyphenation.

	Good to know
	The “Never hyphenate word” function is especially suitable for avoiding unwanted separations of company or product names. Even complex abbreviations of legal terms (such as IFRIC, EMIR) automatically remain non-hyphenated.

A detailed explanation of the individual steps

How to enter a new never hyphenate word rule:

1. In the “*Publish” menu ribbon, in the “Typography” group, click on the “Typography functions” button.
   → The typography task field will open.

2. In the task field, select the “Add rule” button on the “Never separate word” tab.
   → An input dialogue opens.

3. Enter the term you require in the input dialog.
