In this document, 2 examples where there is no way to automaticaly hyphenate the word. Neither selecting frame, nor selecting paragraph, nor selectinf all, nor selecting single word before requesting to hyphenate does achieve hyphenation.

Words are : contexte and consommation.

This other document is an example of unpredictable behaviour of hyphenation.

It provides 4 testing paragraphs each with a coloured word. Explanations are included beside the test texts.

In first and 2nd paragraph, word is "globalement".
- select the text frame, hyphenate : nothing happens
- enter text edit mode
- select whole text or only first paragraph text, hyphenate : nothing happens
- select first paragraph text except first and last line , hyphenate : nothing happens
- select first paragraph text except 2 first lines and last line, hyphenate : it happens !

2nd paragraph text is first paragraph text with 2nd line missing.
- Select 2nd paragraph, hyphenate : hyphenation happens !

In 3d and 4th paragraph, word is "chômage" and "chomage".
- Select paragraph, hyphenate : nothing happens !
- Select word, hyphenate : it does.

I previously uploaded the used font.

Hyphenate best works when ONE single word is selected. But even so it doesnt work in all cases.

Not so well but not too bad, hyphenate works when selecting the text inside a single texte frame. Sometimes though, it doesnt work on such a text : maybe when the selected text's features some specific applied style changes (even when these style changes are not related to the place where hyphenation should occur)

It seems to never work at all when selecting all the inside text of a linked text chain.
