Break the line instead of 'overfull' lines

Post by eire00 »

I'm setting some texts with parallel package and often get sth as in the attatched picture.

I would like to make LaTeX always break the line if there could be an overfull line. How to cause Latex to do it automatically?

Thanx for help

Have you defined hyphenation patterns for the non-English words? If TeX doesn't know how to hyphenate the word, it will produce a lot of overfull hboxes. You can hyphenate specific words with \hyhphenation, but if you're not writing in English, you'll want to include the right language (and hyphenation patterns) with babel. My expertise with babel is non-existant, however.
