  Hi … I am back to blogging after a two year hiatus and am using the theme Twenty-Twelve. I am noticing that there are a few instances where words are hyphenated at the end of sentences. I have tried to justify the text but still the words are hyphenated. Is there any way to turn this off. I do not like the look of hyphenated words…. looks sloppy. Thanks for any and all suggestions.

  You’re welcome.
  No, you need a different code in the CSS editor. But CSS questions must be posted in the CSS forum!
