Word continuning on next sentence – how do I correct?
-
On my home page, it seems like the margins are too small and some of the words are cut in half over two lines. Is there a way of correcting this so the word, if no room, would simply move onto the next line? I’m using the Intergalactic theme.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
Some themes automatically hyphenate words to keep lines more or less aligned on the right, and Intergalactic appears to be one of them.
I was able to nearly duplicate the appearance of your front page, using the same text copied and pasted into a page with the Intergalactic theme activated, but only after centering the text, and changing the font. When I cleared the formatting, or left-aligned the text, the hyphenation remained.

Hi there!
The hyphenation in Intergalactic is (as @musicdoc1 mentioned) a design decision on this particular theme. It is possible to counteract that with Custom CSS (part of a Premium Plan or Business Plan)
The following snippet, when added to My Site > Customize > CSS should do the trick:
.entry-content, .entry-summary, .page-content, .comment-content { -webkit-hyphens: none; -ms-hyphens: none; hyphens: none; } -
Hi @musicdoc1 and staff-loquaciousloon,
Thank you very much for your help.
Do you know of any themes in which they do not hyphenate the words? I do not use the website often enough to warrant paying for one the higher-level plans, so would rather change the theme if there is one suitable.

A lot of themes won’t hyphenate that way – if I had to guess, I’d imagine the theme designer chose to hyphenate Intergalactic because it has a narrower content area and no sidebar, which isn’t the case with many themes :)
Hemingway Rewritten and Shoreditch are two that come to mind as personal favorites that don’t hyphenate :)
