<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> A journal (Journal of Financial Economics)
does NOT want hyphenation. Unfortunately, TeX hyphenates so well that forcing no
hyphenation using: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> \hyphenpenalty=10000
<BR>\exhyphenpenalty=10000 </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>causes the tolerance to be exceeded and nasty
blocks placed at the end of the line where hyphenation should occur. Is there
any way to get TeX to not hyphenate and still leave the text without the
nasty blocks at the end of the line and still get reasonable looking output? Any
help here? bye ...</FONT></DIV>
