Hyphenation Behind an Object

Hi Everyone,

I'd be very grateful if anyone could tell me how to prevent hyphenation of text placed behind ('around') an object (see attached image here 'Hyphenation Problem with Object').

If you look at the text on the lower left side, you'll see that some words are randomly cut off (AFTERNOON becomes AFTERN    OON; SOMETHING becomes SOM   ETHING...etc.)

Is there a way to prevent this (I would prefer the word be shunted to a full line instead of being cut-off haphazarly).

I have tried dehyphenating and reducing the length of words for hyphenation, but nothing seems to work.

I also attempted to tweak the 'text flow' around the object parameter but that didn't help either.

Would anybody have an idea how to do this?

Thank you.

what should scribus do?

if there is place only for less than one word, it cannot go over the borders and has to cut your word...

if you have an idea how to do it more gracefully, please write it down.

the only solution i see, is to avoid to have text in holes that are too small for full words...

(this means: using the contour around the shape and modifying it)

are you using any justification on this text? (looks like it could be full justification being used) If so just leave it as left justification and see if that helps.

Does the "H" graphic have to be that large? If you can reduce the size some that might help.

AdmFubar -

Thanks. It's justified centrally, but justifying left doesn't change it.

Thanks as well, that's what I figured too. I was wondering if I was missing something... I can't change the size of the object, so I'll go with your suggestion and exclude words from those tiny places while placing soft hyphenations where I can.
