How can I turn off Hyphenate permanently in Photoshop?

[HeyoThere]

I'm copying and pasting some text from Google Docs to my Photoshop and it keeps adding the Hyphenation to the text everytime. I have to go on the Paragraph and turn it off manually. I'm using the same document everytime, so I thought if turned off the hyphenation the that Layer it would solve the Hyphenation problem everytime, but it doesn't, for some reason it keeps ramdonly turning on and I have to manually turn it off everytime.

So I'm thinking the text I'm copying from the document must be adding the Hyphen Photoshop, is there something I can do on Photoshop or even on Google Docs so the Hyphenation never happens again? I'm 100% sure I'll never need it.

Hi @HeyoThere, well, I don't see any way to do it. Resetting the type tool won't clear it. Every time a text box is drawn out, for a new document or layer, the Hyphenate box is automatically checked on again. The only suggestion I can think of is to set the character count as high as it can go (25 letters) to see if that is a workaround for you. It seems to be sticky. Others may have some more ideas!

This is a great tip. Did want to throw a line in here that there IS a way to turn Hyphenate off and have it STAY off from new document to new document. HOW I did it originally I'm having trouble remembering but I have it set that way on my MacBook Pro for at least 2023 and in to 2024 versions now. Now on my office Mac Studio I couldn't seem to figure out how to get it to stay off so was going to use th 25 letters hack here, but just for fun I copied over the preference file "Adobe Photoshop 2024 Prefs.psp" and boom, now hyphs stay off for new text blocks. Any idea how to decode the file to read or edit it? Its not readable in BBedit.
