Hmmm...to be honest I never even tried using Hyphenization...

@ath

It just worked better with just about every file I tried. Acrobat 7 Pro often made strange "mistakes" and produced PDF files that weren't very well-formatted while Open Office made cleaner layout witht he same source-files.

I have no idea why this is so.

I just managed to find the right options in OO that make it possible to make PDF files that display very well on the Iliad. I started a thread in the Iliad Forum.
