Use the Formatting panel in the Options dialog box. The numbers you enter and the options you select on the Formatting panel are used as default settings in the Form Properties dialog box on the Formatting tab.
Use the Formatting tab in the Form Properties dialog box. The numbers you enter and the hyphenation options you select on the Formatting tab apply to the current form only. You can change the hyphenation settings for the current form to suit your needs. The default settings that initially appear in the Form Properties dialog box are inherited from the Formatting panel in the Options dialog box, which automatically apply to all new forms. If you change the default settings in the Form Properties dialog box, the new settings override the settings in the Options dialog box for the current form. The hyphenation options in the Options dialog box do not change.
Note:
Before you set hyphenation for forms, it is recommended that you become familiar with the different options you need to select for objects that containhyphenated text. (See About hyphenating text.)
