Description: While there is a (broken) global option for Minimum Word Length at hyphenation (see "Minimal number of characters for hyphenation" in Tools->Options->Language Settings->Writing Aids), for better/comfortable paragraph level adjustment, add a paragraph property for is. Steps to Reproduce: Open the attached test document. Actual Results: No option to set min. word length on paragraph-level. Expected Results: There is a hyphenation option for that in paragraph settings, similar to Remaining/Trailing characters. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: This is an interoperability feature, because DTP software, e.g. Adobe InDesign and CSS Text Module Level 4 "hyphenate-limit-chars" support this.
For me the settings in 'Writing Aids' work. They affect the text boxes in Impress for example and affect continuous text in Writer too. (To get a lot of hyphenations use a layout with several columns.) Anyway, I support, to bring this setting from registrymodifications.xcu to document.
