How do I toggle hyphenated text?

I'd like to stop my text widgets from hyphenating text. Is that possible?

    Hi Nicky, I'm not able to replicate this. Are you using Grammarly or something similar? Maybe that's causing it.

    We are also experiencing a lot of unnecessary hyphenation and would like it to stop!! See attached image. I think it is an Internet explorer bug - please fix https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21466222/internet-explorer-11-keeps-splitting-words

      Hi MoneySmart Team! I just tested this in Chrome, IE and Edge and I'm unable to replicate the issue. Are you sure you aren't using any browser addons such as Grammarly or something similar? Could you try with a private (inkognito) browser window to see if the issue persists?

      Alenka Prezelj Hi. Thanks for testing. We already know it works fine in other browsers so incognito is all good.  It is just we have IE11 at work so the majority of staff that view this will see excessive hyphenation and for some users which reduce comprehension and add to their cognitive load... I see nothing in our add-ons but will check with our IT department.

      MoneySmart team I understand. Strange thing is that I also tested in IE11 and didn't see the hyphens. Please let me know what your IT said, and then we will dig further if necessary.

      Alenka Prezelj Hi. Our IT said we have no add-ins and this is something we have not seen before. They believe the problem lies with Open Learning as we do not see this on other web pages viewed in IE11.  I notice other OL users and IE11 users in general are having this issue so maybe you could consider implementing a fix as suggested above??
