About the Punctuation Hangs Only If Space Unavailable option


    When the Hang Punctuation option is selected in the Paragraph palette, the Punctuation Hangs Only If Space Unavailable option is available and selected in the Kinsoku Shori dialog box. When this option is unselected, text hangs under any circumstance. If you want punctuation to hang only when there is no room to adjust spacing and prevent hanging, select the Hang Punctuation Only If Space Unavailable option.

    Note: When you open a file created or saved in Illustrator 7.0 and the Punctuation Hangs Only If Space Unavailable option is unselected, text in the file is reformatted.
