I'm noticing that when I generate output to Frame I don't have any hyphenation (which is good) but when I generate PDF output with the PDF target, I get hyphenation (which is bad). Why is this, and how can I control it? Both outputs are using the same TOC and the same medium.
Thanks.
Any way to control hyphenation in PDF output?

Re: Any way to control hyphenation in PDF output?
Depends on where you're referring to the hyphenation. You can set hyphenation options on the various tags you use for your content, but those settings don't seem to work in header or footer frames set up via a page layout. I have mine set to pull the first heading in the "chapter" and it keeps hyphenating and nothing I've found turns that off, so I sent in a bug report.

What is hyphenating is the body section, not headers and footers. I looked a bit in the .css to see where I specify hyphenation off, but nothing looked obvious for a hyphenation control. What style property should I look for?
I still think it's odd that my Frame output doesn't hyphenate, but my PDF output of the exact same project does.

Thanks! I was looking in the Advance View versus the Simplified View.

In Advanced view it appears in the "Unclassified" property group for the style, and that group appears when you have it set to show all property groups. There are several properties that begin with mc-hyphenate.
