Find out how to turn off (or on) automatic hyphenation on your text in your Adobe InDesign documents. Hyphenation is on by default, but you may not want to use it. You can turn hyphenation ON/OFF in InDesign at paragraph-level, but that can create a lot of manual work. You can also control hyphenation throughout your document by defining paragraph styles and specifying your hyphenation options there. Then they will apply everywhere.
