Asian Typography

Set the typographic options for cells or paragraphs in Asian language files. To enable Asian language support, choose Language Settings - Languages in the Options dialogue box, and then select the Enabled box in the Asian language support area. The Asian typography options are ignored in HTML documents.

To access this command...

Choose Format - Paragraph - Asian Typography tab (not in HTML).

Choose Format - Cells - Asian Typography tab.

Choose View - Styles - open context menu of an entry and click Modify/New - Asian Typography tab.

Line change

Set the options for line breaks in Asian language documents.

Apply list of forbidden characters to the beginning and end of line

Prevents the characters in the list from starting or ending a line. The characters are relocated to either the previous or the next line. To edit the list of restricted characters, choose Tools - Options - Language Settings - Asian Layout.

Allow hanging punctuation

Prevents commas and full stops from breaking the line. Instead, these characters are added to the end of the line, even in the page margin.

Inserts a space between ideographic and alphabetic text.
