    Hello Jim,

    JQ> Dear All,

    You can insert Unicode soft hyphen ­ before/after the slash in
    order to make XEP break the word at this positions then hyphenation is
    turned on.

    Are you sure that you have turned hyphenation on? It is off by
    default. With hyphenation turned on XEP will try to break long words
    if possible, it uses "text squeezing" technic as a fallback if there
    was no appropriate hyphenation rule found or if the word just slightly
    longer then available space.

    JQ> Thanks so much
