How can I configure hyphenation settings so that InDesign does not hyphenate already hyphenated word

For example:
twenty-seven
It's okay to break at the hypen in the word, but I don't want either twenty or seven to be hyphenated. Is it possible to configure this in the hyphenation instructions? I don't see a way to do it other than manually adding every hyphenated word to the user dictionary.
Thanks!

A super-easy way to prevent this is to add a discretionary hyphen after the hyphen in a hyphenated word. This can be easily accomplished by doing a global find-and-replace.
Find: -
Replace: -^-
This will allow all hyphenated words to break ONLY after the hyphen.
Hyphenation settings should be determined based on the overall text. It is good to specify the minimum characters a word should have to be hyphenated — to prevent the hyphenation of very short words — but if you set that minimum too high just to avoid double hyphenated words, you may end up with too loose lines of text.

  • How can i recover corrupt .mov files that quicktime does not recognise?

    we recently 'lost' a whole day's footage by accidentally deleting it. in trying to recover these files we have used many different programs and have had odd results.... sometimes the data is recovered and shows only thumbnails but not the proper film and othertimes says tht quick time cannot open the link because it doesn't reconise the codec. these clips were filmed with a Canon SLR camera and we have searched the reformqatted sandisks as well with the same result.... quicktime does not recognize the file.
    any thoughts? it would be a tragedy to lose this footage... well not really, but you know - a whole day's work!
    thanks in advance for your help.

    I managed to rescue damaged AVCHD footage using photorescue. Some files were not complete, but I got them to play by trying different players like VLC, or mpeg streamclip, then exporting the clip as a new same format file. One or two were too badly damaged to rescue, but I got most back eventually.

  • How do I change system settings so that users are not required to enter the mac's admin pw in order to join a wifi network?

    how do I change system settings so that users are not required to enter the mac's admin pw in order to join a wifi network?
    Right now my macbook pro requires an admin password before connecting to a new wifi network. In other words when a user that is not an admin tries to connect to a new wifi network the pop up displays indicating that it is locked and an admin password is required.
    Is there a way to remove this restriction so that a non admin can connect to wifi without the mac's admin password.

    You can enable / disable this option in System Preferences:
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab > Require administrator authorization to: Change networks

    how can i stop an error message that comes up when i am using word? the error message is "word is unable to save the Autorecover file in the location specified. Make sure that you have specified a valid location for Autoreover files in Preferences,…"

    It sounds like if you open Preferences in Word there will be a place where you can specify where to store autorecover files. Right now it sounds like it's pointing to somewhere that doesn't exist.

    hello, the addons manager is exactly the right place to look for it. please try disabling the addons that are listed there one-by-one (a restart of the browser might be necessary after each step). maybe one of them is bundling this kind of adware.

  • I've moved my Aperture library to another computer, and masters are referencing an old path name.  How can I update these references?  Reloctating masters does not work in this case :(

    I've moved my Aperture library from one computer to another using Finder.
    I merged the library with one which was already on the computer.
    Now, the photos I imported have reference to the old path name on my old computer.
    How can I update these references as "Relocate Masters" does not work in this case?

    Just one suggestion to be able to reconnect all at once:
    Create a smart album containing the images with missing masters:
    File -> New ->  Smart Album,     and add a rule: File Status is "Missing"     (or File Status is "offline")
    Then select the images in this album and go to the File menu:
    and select:   File -> Locate referenced File
    If you are lucky, Aperture will reconnect all at once, if you point the first image version to its counterpart.

    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

  • How can I configure a party such that this party can submit both 4010 and 5010 transaction?

    I try to configure a party such that this party can submit both 4010 and 5010 transactions. 
    I encounter error related to ISA11 field.
    When I submit a 4010 transaction, I need to uncheck the 'Use ISA11 as repetition separator' box in the X12 Interchange Processing Properties page of the party.  If not I will encounter error if the character 'U' in ISA11 appears as content inside
    the transaction.
    On the other hand, if I submit a 5010 transaction and left the 'Use ISA11 as repetition separator' box uncheck, I will encounter the following error:
    Error: 2 (Field level error)
         SegmentID: ISA
         Position in TS: 1
         Data Element ID: ISA11
         Position in Segment: 11
         Data Value: ^
        7: Invalid code value.
    The character in ISA11 in 5010 transaction is '^'.
    Is there any setting or trick I can use such that I don't have to adjust the 'Use ISA11 as repetition separator' box everytime a different version of EDI is submitted by the party.

    Hi,
        The problem you are describing is not because of Version of the document but actually it is because of different kind of ISA11s you are using for one party. It can happen with the same verion document as well.
    So for solving it You can right a pipline component and put it before edi-receive pipeline component. In this pipline component you can search ISA11 and replace with 'U' if you do not want to use it.
    But I think the problem will come further becauase if you have '^' in ISA11 then most probably you would be using it in document as repetition separator. So please check if you are not using '^' in the doc and then apply this pipeline component.
    Thanks

  • I  would like to update or upgrarde my iphone from 4.2  to  5.0 or higher how can I do this task  A.  my phone does not have a "update" setting  I was told to reset all the settings to new B. will this earase all my contact, files ,notes emails  ??? C.

    I want to update or upgrade my iphone 4  to 5.0 or 6 higher how can I do this ?  I my unable to sign into Itunes    I was told to reset all the settings to "factory"  If I reset evevything ,will I loose all my contacts, emails, notes, or any other information that I have saved into my phone  (photos, apps, emails, )  Just as if I had a brand new phone ?    I am not very experience with computers or high tech devices I would have a difficult time uploading on my computer or tranfering data

    Don't reset anything, just connect it to iTunes. If you don't have iTunes on a computer, then find someone who does, turn off auto sync, then connect your iphone and click 'check for updates'. iTunes will download the update, then update that software to your phone. Before you update though, I'd make a backup, just to be on the safe side.

  • How do i change my settings so that a file automatically opens in Office Word

    I am using Firefox as my search engine and when I open files it used to ask me if it was ok to open them in Office Word. It used to open them perfectly. I guess I clicked something wrong and now the files open automatically in Microsoft Works Word Processor. How can I change it back to open then files automatically in Office Word?

    There are a few different possibilities when Firefox doesn't handle downloads automatically.
    First, can you check the Options dialog to make sure Firefox saved your preference?
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications
    It takes some time for the list to load... then in the search box above the list type '''word''' to filter it down to the entries for Word documents. Do these show that you want to Open with MS Word?
    If those check out but Firefox isn't doing it, there are two possibilities:
    (1) Website might be using a generic content type header.
    Firefox doesn't actually inspect the document or check the file extension. Instead, it relies on the server to send a content type such as "application/msword" to look up the proper handling. If the server just says this is a binary file of non-specific type, then Firefox always prompts you for instructions.
    If this is the problem, then you would find that Firefox sometimes handles Word documents correctly and sometimes doesn't depending on the site.
    (2) Download handler settings file might be corrupted.
    The longer you have Firefox, the more likely that extra lines will creep into this file and potentially cause conflicting instructions. You can rename the file and have Firefox generate a fresh one.
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a separate window listing files and folders.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
    Start Firefox back up again and it should create a new settings file with default settings. Any improvement on the next download or two?
