I'm interpreting what you are saying as a hyphenation question. LaTeX (and, of course, LyX) has a weighting you can set to determine how often to allow hyphenation. You can also turn it off completely. A third option is to simply not allow hyphenation on certain words, or to tell it where the proper place to hyphenate a word is. All of this is documented on the LyX wiki at: http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/TextAppearance The main commands are \hyphenation, \hyphenpenalty, and \exhyphenpenalty. I hope this helps. Jacob
