Hello everyone!

I'm working on a large report on Adobe InDesign and I'm having some bugs with the hyphenation. Some words are divided totally wrong, like ac-ademic (it should be aca-dem-ic), scienc-es (it should be sci-ences), etc. All me settings are in English:USA and now I don't know what to do because it's imposible to check each word in the dictionary and to change on my Personal Dictionary.

Any suggestion?

Thanks, guys!

Am I seeing in the right place? If it's okay, it appers English: USA.

There's nothing wrong with those breaks especially considering that you're using justified type.

What makes you think they're breaking in the wrong place? Those look fine to me.

Hi Bob!

As I'm not an English speaker, I'm using a website for hyphenization, to make sure that's everything okay.

Look:
