2.1.1124 Part 1 Section 20.188, fo:hyphenate

  • Article

a.   The standard defines the attribute fo:hyphenate, contained within the element <style:text-properties>

This attribute is supported in Word 2013, Word 2016, and Word 2019.

Word has an auto-hyphenation property at the document level and a "do not hyphenate" property at the paragraph level. The ODF auto-hyphenation property is stored at the text property level.

On load, Word sets the document-level auto-hyphenation property to true. If a paragraph style is set to not to auto-hyphenate the current paragraph, then Word sets the paragraph-level "do not hyphenate" property to true. Otherwise, Word sets this property to false.

On save, Word always sets fo:hyphenate to true in the text properties of the default paragraph style. For each paragraph style in the document, Word sets fo:hyphenate to true or fo:hyphenate to false based on the value used in the default paragraph style.

Word does not support the fo:hyphenate property from any other styles that can contain a style:text-properties element. For example, if text is contained within a span that is within a paragraph, then Word ignores the value of fo:hyphenate defined by the span and applies the value defined by the paragraph.

OfficeArt Math in Word 2013 does not support this attribute on save for text in SmartArt and chart titles and labels.
