I'm working with Pages to create Korean documents.
But Pages don't have Korean word keep option, so I need insert line break to all lines manually.
How to turn on Korean word keeping option?
product: pages 6.3.1
null-OTHER, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)
Tom I tested this with Korean Hangul I copied from a news site.
I pasted it into a plain text Textedit document and stretched/shrank the window to check it has no line breaks then copy pasted that plain text to Pages 6.3.1.
No sign of any line breaks and word breaks are fine.
Then reduced the margins and the text flowed normally in Pages.
I can only assume the O.P. has done something else or has text with non-break word spaces.
There appears to be no problem in Pages 6.3.1 Sierra.
I started setting up a drive to run High Sierra this morning but backed out when it started looking a little dicey and looked like it might screw up what I had on the drive. I might get another brand new hard drive just for High Sierra.

Ah I understand now what you are saying.
You do not want the Korean words to break:
In Edit > Spelling and Grammar there is a Hangul option, but it seems to do nothing.
Also in Text > More I cancelled Remove paragraph hyphenation and turned off Prevent widow & orphan. Both of those did nothing.
I can think of nothing else.
It would appear to be a bug or bad programming.
Menu > Pages > Provide Pages Feedback

Thanks Peter for your testing.
I'm not good command of English, so It seems misunderstand.
In your screenshot, some words are breaked on end of 3rd line and 6th line. This is problem.
English words are not break on end of line. There's hyphen option for English for that.
But the option is not working on Korean.
Thanks,
"It would appear to be a bug or bad programming."
Which would suggest the best course is a bug report to Apple via Provide Pages Feedback (found in the Pages menu).
That won't bring an immediate solution to the issue, but will alert Apple to its existence, which messages in this user to user community will not accomplish.

Do you know if other apps like Word and LibreOffice have this?
I understand that justified Korean text normally breaks words randomly between lines. Is that correct?
"or has text with non-break word spaces"
Doesn't appear to be the case in the screen shot sample in the initial post.
(and the insertion point before "words")

Thank you for your advice. I'll leave a feedback to Apple.
In Microsoft Word, there's an option for Korean word break (separated from English)
There's screenshot.

Line break is shift return
Peter
But you shouldn't have to do that, lines should break at the space automatically....
In general, Korean words are permitted to break.
But in some designs, breaked words are hard to understand. So my clients want not to break words these days.

Thanks for that useful info!
Korean words always break on end of line.
