Google-docs – manual hyphenation in Google Docs (word break)

google docs

Is there a way how to set manual word breaks with a hyphenation character in Google Docs?

I do not mean setting a manual - but an invisible character.

I searched the help and forums but just found old replies saying "do a feature request".

Since the recent answers did not get the question. Here is an example, what is needed:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor thisismy-
superlongword ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. 

The word thisismysuperlongword should get a hyphenation after y and break into two parts. But it should (on one line) still be considered as one word.

  • Now you can check for hyphenation from the Add-ons menu
