Hi there. In this video we're going to look at justification and hyphenation.
At the moment, we have the ticks from the previous video and we want
to go from this and then justify it like this.
Nice, and then we're going to go through and tune the hyphenation off,
which are these little hyphens here.
Let's go and do that now and hyphenation are off,
so let's go and learn how to do that.
Okay, let's start with justification.
Easy enough one. I'm going to grab my text box,
I'm going to grab my type tool.
Now what we want to do is make sure all the ticks is selected.
What's actually happening is,
can you see this little red box down the bottom here?
It means that there's not enough room for my type to fit.
We're going to lower the font size a little bit later anyway.
We're not too worried about it now, but I need to select all
of the text and you can click in here,
any way and go to edit,
select all, and then select text even the stuff you can't see.
Because if you just do the stuff you see it will only change that,
and there will be stuff hanging off the edge here that won't be justified.
Or what I end up doing is a bit weird, but if you double-click,
you get the word, you give it three clicks you get the line,
you give four clicks, you get the paragraph.
If you have five, you get the whole thing including the stuff on the outside.
Seems not that quick.
There's other ways like control A on a PC or Command A on a Mac,
any which way you like to select them.
I don't know why I use this five click.I use it all the time.
Anyway, It's especially good when you want to click just a paragraph or just a line.
All right, so I've got everything selected and I want to go up
the top here from character to paragraph.
You see along the top here we've used left line,
right line and center.
We're going to use this one here is justified left.
It just means that everything is going to line up and be forced to the edges.
I don't really like justification because I find
justification looks better visually because that's a nice thing,
everything lines up so cube but in terms of reading they could be some really big.
These things here called rivers where you end up with this gaps
flowing through things where rivers are running through big white holes.
You can see a big one there.
It's also that we can make it look butted up next to each other.
But when you're actually reading it,
there're some really big justification gaps.
I guess that's the trade-off.
Will you want it to look nice and in little boxes,
or will you want the actual lines to read nicely.
I don't really like justification, but to be honest,
whenever I'm reading something,
I never pick it up and go " justified, I can't read this."
In terms of the user experience,
let's not worry about it too much.
If I find some of your work and it's justified,
I promised to only lecture you behind your back.
What we're going to do is look at hyphenation now because justification,
hyphenation often work together and hyphenation is the little hyphens here.
Justification forces a little bit more or makes them a little bit more obvious.
I'm going to turn it off.
But when I turn hyphenation off so I have selected all,
and we're going to go up to the paragraph, hyphenation, click.
The only trouble with hyphenation is that it gets rid of all the little hanging bits,
but we've got more gaps between them.
You got to decide if you like justification how much do you need hyphenation?
In terms of hyphenation,
it's on by default every time I've drawn a new type box and I start to say,
let's add some placeholder text,
you'll see that hyphenation is on by default and normally is.
What you can do if it keeps coming on by default has had nothing selected,
so absolutely nothing in your document,
then go to your Type Tool and go to Paragraph.
If you turn it on or off here,
it will be set as the default for this document.
I'm going to have mine say off,
there's no more hyphenation every time I draw a type box.
In my case, I'm going to leave it justified and I am
going to make sure hyphenation is on just because it's breaking into,
I can't hack all these big white spaces here, so that's my balance.
That my friends is justification and hyphenation.
It save the document and move on to the next video.
