Summary: How to fix latex problem? Keywords: hyphen format Message-ID: Date: 10 Apr 91 21:48:52 GMT Sender: news@sol.UVic.CA Organization: University of Victoria Lines: 10 Nntp-Posting-Host: csr.uvic.ca I am writing my thesis and see the words are getting hypenated like: graph- s. This is very annoying to the eye. Why does latex do this and how to fix the problem? If there is space for the hyphen why can't the 's' be moved up a line? This happens (for different words) about 5 times in a 60 page report. Thanks for any suggestions. Michael Dinneen University of Victoria, B.C. Canada
