page text width hyphenating words

Post by snif123 »

Hi
I have changed my lefside margin and now latex hyphenates some of the word at the end of the sentence e.g eff- (continues word on next line).
Any one know a remedy for this?
Thanks!

If you want to stop all hyphenation in the document, you might refer to http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2htm ... ph+hyphoff.

If, on the other hand, you just don't like that particular choice of hyphenation, try using \hyphenation{wordidontwanthyphenated}, which tells TeX NOT to hyphenate that word except where you tell it. For example, \hyphenation{foo-bar FUBAR} tells TeX not to hyphenate "FUBAR", but it can hyphenate "foobar" (but only between the o and the b, nowhere else).
