Wrap words in Pages

I'm trying to get Pages to stop words with a hyphen and continue them in the next line if they exceed the current line (like it is seen in almost every textbook). I don't know how to do this. When I google "word wrap pages", all I see is people having problems with wrapping text around images, which is not my problem.

Solution 1:

According to the Apple KB article Pages ‘09: Using Automatic Hyphenation, you can try these methods.

• To turn hyphenation on or off for the entire document, click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Document button, and then select or deselect Hyphenate (in the Document pane).
• To turn off hyphenation for a particular paragraph, select the paragraph, click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Text button, click More, and then select “Remove hyphenation for paragraph.”
• To turn hyphenation on or off for a word, click the word while holding down the Control key, and then choose Never Hyphenate or Allow Hyphenation from the shortcut menu.

Solution 2:

Here is a working solution

Basically, open Character Viewer, find soft hyphen and insert it wherever you like a word to hyphenate.
