‍

‍

To stop Adobe InDesign from automatically hyphenating text in every new document, you must change the default settings while no documents are open. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

‍

1. To stop Adobe InDesign from automatically hyphenating text in every new document, open the Paragraph Styles panel via 'Window' → 'Styles' → 'Paragraph.'
2. Create a new paragraph style tab to edit by clicking the '+' icon at the bottom of the Paragraph Styles panel
3. A Paragraph Style Options panel will open; go to Hyphenation, located on the left side of the panel
4. Disable Hyphenate and click 'OK.'
5. Create a new document to apply the adjustments you made.
6. Create a text box and fill it with paragraph text to test your settings
7. The absence of hyphens indicates that the hyphenation settings have been successfully disabled.
