Text Formatting ⇒ Prevent figure caption from splitting words?

[adam1234]

Hello all - I am Adam from the U.S., and I am a new member of this forum.

I was wondering if there was anything I can do to prevent a figure caption from splitting words between two lines.

Here is an example of what my captions look like:
%-----
Figure 1 - This figure is wond-
erful and I hope to use it again
%-----

I don't want any words ('wonderful' in this case) to be split apart.

I am using:
\usepackage[labelfont=bf,margin=1in,labelsep=endash]{caption}

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
Adam

Hi,

one option would be to use the justification=raggedright option for the caption package; i.e., you could load the package with something like

Code: Select all

\usepackage[labelfont=bf,margin=1in,labelsep=endash,justification=raggedright]{caption}

this suppresses the hyphenation for the captions, but of course their text will be now "raggedright".
