Preventing hyphenation with justified text?
Hi all, Is it possible to prevent justified paragraphs from having words broken across two lines? I want to apply this on a document-wide level, not just to one or two paragraphs Thanks in advance, Joshua Street http://www.joahua.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] 0425 808 469

Preventing hyphenation will confuse the TeX paragraph algorithm and produce
ugly results. You would be better with OpenOffice or MsWord.
You can try it by putting in ERT at the top of your document
\begin{hyphenrules}{nohyphenation}
and at the end in ERT
\end{hyphenrules}
Cheers,
Charles

There are certain requirements in order to play nice with the packages provided by Debian and Ubuntu: - Nothing in NAME (before the first _) may be changed - VERSION should parse smaller as 1 according to the debian versioning rules. This is ensured by prepending a '0.' in front of it. This makes sure that as soon as real Debian packages become available (normally starting with revision 1) they are preferred. - The revision of the used .diff on the wiki (currently 3) should be included so that users can easily update packages when new ones become available.

huh?? TeX will never be confused ... and there is absolutely no need
for OO or MS
You can try it by putting in ERT at the top of your document
\begin{hyphenrules}{nohyphenation}
easier:
-- choose an unknown language from the LyX menu, or
-- write into the preamble \usepackahe[none]{hyphenat} or
-- write into the preamble
\hyphenpenalty=1
\exhyphenpenalty=1\relax

Which is quite ugly. In the LaTeX companion, I've found that if you add \emergencystretch=100pt in the preamble it gets better (perfect MsWord look ;-) maybe you can get the same result fiddling with the \tolerance variable.
