How to extract parts of (La)TeX document?

LaTeX: Ragged right and no hyphenation as a document default.

• LaTeX: Ragged right and no hyphenation as a document default. I have colleague who uses the computer to read PDF files to him out loud. PDF documents with hyphenation "sound" funny because of the mid-word line breaks. Thus, I would like my LaTeX documents to be unhyphenated. I suspect that without hyphenation, the document would look better to some one who visually reads the document if the paragraphs were ragged right (i.e., left justified). Is there a simple option to do both of these things at the document-level?

• Answer:

  To get rid of hyphenation, you can use the http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/hyphenat.html package. Once you have it: \usepackage[none]{hyphenat} \begin{document} \raggedright ... \end{document}
