Description Orwel 2024-05-17 09:34:44 UTC

Description:
If I do some manual hyphenation in a paragraph (Tools/Language/Hyphenation), I think, there is no way to remove it easily. Would be great if a possibility "Remove all" could exist beside "Hyphenate all"

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write some text with more paragraphs.
2. Do hyphenation in one of them.
3. Try to remove it

Actual Results:
You can only remove them manually (backspace) one by one or try some solution with Find and replace function.

Expected Results:
The hyphenation window could have a "Remove all" button as well as a "Hyphenate all" button.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
This would be very helpful if you edit the document/paragraph and make some changes. The very first hyphenation marks are still visible, which is a bit annoying when reading/correcting (especially with small fonts, using different fields, etc).

Thanks for the suggestion.
That makes sense to me. We have "Hyphenate All" in the dialog, why not have the opposite "Remove All"?

Situation was the same in OOo 3.3.

(Side note: that manual, word-by-word hyphenation feature makes me feel like it should not even exist when we have automatic hyphenate through Format > Paragraph > Text Flow > Hyphenation, or in the equivalent Style dialogue. Any reason why you would stick to the manual method, Orwel?)

Hi,
thank you for the response. I often do not use automatic hyphenation in documents. But sometimes I only need to hyphenate one word (e.g. if it has 20 or more letters), so I want to be able to do manual hyphenation as well.(In reply to Stéphane Guillou (stragu) from comment #1)

Sounds like a plan.

Besides the mentioned workflow it appears to me as if we insert a plain hyphen with the text flow method while the hyphenation dialog inserts a soft hyphen.
