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.

While I agree the current hyphenation is probably acceptable, I wonder if changing the language setting from European English to to Either English:UK or English:USA would make a difference (and is there a reason you've chosen English:EUR over either of those when you say above that your settings are for English:USA). Language is a character level attribute best set as part of your paragraph style, and is completely unaffected by any settings in the preferences (that just picks your default dictionary language, not the language assigned to text).

I tried to change to English:UK but it didn't work as well. But now I found a good solution (my client wants the words separated as the example I sent) and it's changing to the "English: Legal". With this English options, everything looks ok, but I don't know why.
