Suppress end of page hyphenation

If you increase the number of widow/orphan lines, there will be less paragraphs breaking across pages, and consequently less words hyphenated across pages.

-- I know this is no particularly brilliant solution, but if paragraphs in your document are generally short (e.g. five lines or less), it may serve you as a workaround.

There's never been such a suppress hyphenation at the end of a page capability in FM afaik, although it's long been a requested feature.

As a workaround, you might consider using Framescript to do a "finessing" steps like this. The script could be triggered from the FM menus and it could jump through the document and/or all docs in the book, stopping at every hyphen-at-end-of-page to let you select the appropriate fix, or a default "always suppress hyphen on last word" applied.

A Framescript might be able to do something clever with a unique marker just in front of an inserted-for-pagination hyphen so that at a later time these specific marker+hyphen instances could be removed, the file edited as needed, then the end-of-page hyphen script run again.

There's a Framescript user group here:

That might be a good item to submit as a feature request. Submit here:

I don't know if FM9 has any additional controls, but Frame has had, for a long time, the ability to suppress hyphenation by paragraph type.

In 7.0 for example:

Format > Paragraphs > Designer > Advanced

[_] Hyphenate

[Update All]

I recently used this for a manual intended for an audience whose first language was not English, but generally you won't want to turn it off throughout. An alternative is to have it on for Body, and use local overrides, or set up Body.nh which has it off by default, and apply it as needed.
