how to turn off hyphenation in indesign cc 2017

If you have a list of 10 or 20 0r 50 words, you can just add them in a text frame, and select each one individually and create a hyphenation exception to it. Now you do not have to wait for a word to misbehave before you can add a hyphenation exception. As an example, let's apply a hyphenation example to this word California, that is hyphenated right here. You can add that as what's called a hyphenation exception to InDesign's dictionary so that from then on, every time that you enter that word, or that word becomes poured into a text frame, it will not hyphenate. You might never want your last name to be hyphenated, for example. You might have a lot of proprietary names that you use in your business.

In this video, though, I want to talk about making a word permanently not able to hyphenate. I have another video in this title that talks about how to turn off hyphenation for a particular word on a case-by-case basis by using formatting options like No Break, or adding a discretionary hyphen in front of a word. I'm zoomed very close into this layout because I'm checking out the words that are hyphenated.
