Overdoing it on the hyphens though is probably not a good idea. Unless the word needs hyphenation, shouldn't it be left to the software to "flow" the text on the screen?

I actually prefer left justifed over either, but if I can't have that, I'd like the reader software to do the hyphenation. Why would the author/formatter ever be inserting hyphens into the text? Does he/she know what size font I use?
