Canvas X Draw can insert a hyphen in the last word of a line to give text objects a more balanced, even appearance. You can also control the hyphenation properties so that Canvas X Draw only hyphenates under specific circumstances. Hyphenation settings apply to entire paragraphs. To hyphenate a specific word, you can manually insert a hyphen.
After word beginning | Specify the minimum number of letters that must precede a hyphen. |
Before word ending | Specify the minimum number of letters that must follow a hyphen. |
Smallest word | Specify the minimum number of letters that a word must have to be hyphenated. |
Consecutive line limit | Specify the number of consecutive lines that can end in hyphens; e.g., if four consecutive lines could end in hyphens but the limit is three, Canvas X Draw does not hyphenate the last word of the fourth line. |
Skip capitalized words | Turn this option on to prevent proper names and other words beginning with a capital letter from being hyphenated. |
