I use the following nroff command: /usr/bin/nroff -ms nroff_header FILENAME If the file, nroff_header, includes the .nh command and a -ms macro command, either before or after the .nh command, then automatic hyphenation is turned off. If the file does not contain a -ms macro command, then automatic hyphenation is not turned off. Thus, a version of the file, nroff_header, containing: .nh \"disable hyphenation .LP \"invoke the ms macro package will turn automatic hyphenation off. But, a version of the file containing only: .nh \"disable hyphenation will not turn automatic hyphenation off. My question is: How can automatic hyphenation be turned off without including a -ms macro command in the file, nroff_header? Thanks in advance for the help.
