Although the hyphenation you select in the Form Properties and Options dialog boxes apply to the entire form, you can use the Hyphenate option in the Paragraph palette to add or remove hyphenation in individual objects. Using the Hyphenate option, you can manually adjust text layout on an object-by-object basis.
The Hyphenate option is available in the Paragraph palette only when you select the Using the Allow Hyphenation in Text and Field Captions option or the Allow Hyphenation in Text Field Values option, or both on the Form Properties (Formatting tab) or the Options (Formatting panel) dialog boxes. The Hyphenate option displays a colored square when these two options are in a mixed state, where either Allow Hyphenation in Text and Field Captions or Allow Hyphenation in Text Field Values is deselected. That is, when you select the Hyphenate option for an object when these two options are in a mixed state, the check box displays a colored arrow, which changes to a colored square to remind you that one of the options is deselected.
Tip:
When Hyphenate New Items is selected in the Options dialog box on the Formatting panel, the Hyphenate option is automatically selected with new objects added to a form.
The commands in the Currently Editing palette menu (Edit Caption or Value, Edit Caption, or Edit Value) determine when the Hyphenate option is available in the Paragraph palette (does not apply to text objects). That is, the Allow Hyphenation in Text and Field Captions option and the Allow Hyphenation in Text Field Values option are applied according to the command you select. For example, if you select the Allow Hyphenation in Text and Field Captions option, you must also select either the Edit Caption or Value command or the Edit Caption command to make the Hyphenate option available.
Use these commands to select the area (caption, value, or both) to hyphenate in each object that contains hyphenated text. For example, to hyphenate the text in text objects and the captions in text field objects, select the Allow Hyphenation in Text and Field Captions option and either the Edit Caption and Value menu command or the Edit Caption command. Alternatively, to hyphenate the default or user input text in the value area of text objects, select the Allow Hyphenation in Text Field Values option and the Edit Value menu command. The default command for text fields, decimal fields, numeric fields, and signature fields is Edit Caption or Value.
It is recommended that you select the Expand to Fit (Height) option for each object that contains hyphenated text. When a word is too long to fit entirely on a line, hyphenation forces a line break and divides the word over two lines. As a result, the object that contains the text needs to expand in height to accommodate additional lines when needed. However, you can also manually enlarge objects to the correct size where hyphenation can occur. Text objects expand in width (as needed) when you enter text, even if you do not select the Expand To Fit (Width) option.
(Applies to the value area of text objects only) Select this option on the Field tab of the Object palette for each text object to hyphenate the text in, in the value area of text field objects. This option enables the text to break onto more than one line where the height of the field permits.
