Title: Special Codes
Product: WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS
Number: 1108-9/93
You can insert special codes that let you format your document
more effectively. These include hard tab codes, hard tab codes
with dot leaders, hyphenation codes, and hard spaces.
Concepts
Dash Character
If you use a dash character, rather than a hyphen, to join two
words, WordPerfect treats the two words like a single word. A
dash is sometimes referred to as a hard hyphen. This character
is useful for words such as co-op that should not be broken at
the end of a line.
A dash (-) is not a hyphen, an en dash ( ), or an em dash ( ).
When printed, the dash character looks the same as a minus sign.
To insert an en dash or an em dash, use the WordPerfect
Characters feature.
Hard Space
A hard space between two words will keep them together on the
same line. For example, you can use a hard space to keep dates
(such as January 21, 1956 ) or names (such as John Paul Jones,
Jr. ) from being separated by a soft return.
Hard Tab Codes
When you want to insert a tab for use on one line only, use a
hard tab. For example, you could use a hard tab if you want to
insert a right tab at the next tab setting, but you don't want to
change that tab setting for the rest of the document.
Hyphen
You can use a hyphen code to specify where a word should break
when it needs to be hyphenated.
Hyphenation Ignore Word
If hyphenation is turned on, you can cancel hyphenation for a
word by moving the cursor next to the first letter of the
hyphenated word and inserting the Hyphenation Ignore Word code.
When you cancel hyphenation for a word, that word wraps to the
next line.
Hyphenation Soft Return
You can use a Hyphenation Soft Return code to specify where a
word should be broken if the word needs to be hyphenated. This
code is like a Soft Hyphen code, but it doesn t produce a hyphen
it simply breaks the word if that word falls within the
hyphenation zone.
A Hyphenation Soft Return is especially useful for words
separated by slashes (/) and em dashes ( ). If the word doesn t
need to be broken, the Hyphenation Soft Return code remains in
the document but has no effect.
Soft Hyphen
A Soft Hyphen divides a word with a hyphen when the word falls
within the hyphenation zone. If the word does not need to be
broken, the [- Soft Hyphen] code remains in the document but has
no effect. When the word falls at the end of a line and needs to
be divided, the code changes to [- Soft Hyphen EOL], and a hyphen
is inserted.
Inserting Special Codes
1 Choose Special Codes from the Layout menu.
2 Select the code you want to insert.
3 Choose Insert.
The selected code is inserted in your document at the cursor
position. You can insert only one code at a time from the
Special Codes dialog box. You can also insert special codes
using keystrokes. Use Reveal Codes to see the inserted code.
For keystrokes and codes, see Additional Information later in
this section.
