How to remove hyphens/hyphenation in QuarkXPress

A quick and painless tutorial on removing hyphenation from Quark (since their built-in help menu isn't of any help).

A short (but hopefully helpful) Quark guide to hyphens 

I've decided to create a page for the topic, just for the mere fact that I haven't been up on Quark for nearly 5 years, and couldn't seem to remember how to remove hyphens within text. Not only that, but I couldn't get the answer through their help menu, nor through Google. So, here it goes:

Step 1: Style Sheet Menu 

  • Hit "Shift F11" for the Style Sheet edit menu
  • Create a "New Paragraph" (Click the New button on the lower left, choose "Paragraph..."
  • In the new menu, make sure the following is selected: "Based on: No style", "Next style: Self," "Character style: Default". Now, click the 2nd "Formats" tab, and look at the bottom of the list for "H&J". Set this to "No Hyphenation".
  • Name the style sheet (preferably something like "No hyphens"). This will later appear in your main menu.
  • Click "Ok"

Step 2: Style Drop-down Menu 

  • Select an area of text in an open Quark document.
  • In the Quark main menu bar, go to "Style" and "Paragraph Style Sheet". Look for the new style you've created - called "No hyphens" (or whatever you've decided to name it)

Done! 

That's it! Your hyphens should now be gone. You can now go back into the Style Edit Menu (Shift+F11) and edit your "No hyphens" rule, to add in any other rules you might need.
