I see this has NOT been resolved since 2014:

I lose words when i uncheck hyphenate

I want to have 2 paragraphs of text that simulates ancient Greek manuscripts.  NO hyphens and NO breaking at a syllable.  When they ran out of space in the papyrus roll they just continued the word, wherever the break was, on the next line.

I tried to turn off hyphenation for the one paragraph.  All text gone for the rest of the doc.  I tried setting up a new style with no hyphenation.  All text gone...

4 years, and InDesign has not fixed this problem.

I pay for a subscription and can't get support for a bug?  This is bs.

I will now start looking at Lulu and other vendors who don't require you to work with a POS program once I finish this book.

Short of typing each line individually, counting letters, and then hitting return (with single space) so I get the look I want, I see no other  solution.  Does any InDesign employee want to try to keep me in the camp?  And keep me from putting out to all academics I know NOT to self-publish with ad-Oh-be.
