Q: How do you make text wrap without breaking words?

I just want the text to wrap at the right side of the page without breaking words (hyphenating and continuing on the next line).  MS Word did this automatically; how do I make Pages do it?

    Then turn off hyphenation on the Pages for Mac v5 Documents panel, select all of your text, and then apply justify alignment. If you left align your text in normal paragraph layout, Pages is still going to split and/or wrap words as it pleases.

     

    Your other option is to make selected words and phrases “non-breaking,” as I pointed out in a post earlier this week.
