Customer Issue
Some users may notice unwanted hyphenation in emails, especially when viewed in Microsoft Outlook. This is due to Outlook's built-in typography settings rather than an issue with email formatting from Firstup.
Example:
Environment
- Office 365
- Microsoft Outlook
Issue Details
Some customers have reported that emails sent from Creator Studio appear with additional or unwanted hyphenation when viewed in Microsoft Outlook. This behavior is caused by Outlook’s Smart Justification and Automatic Hyphenation settings, which are enabled by default in some versions of Outlook.
These settings automatically adjust text formatting to improve readability, but they can also introduce hyphenation that may not be present in the original email design.

Resolution
Since this is a setting controlled within Outlook, users can resolve the issue by disabling Smart Justification and Automatic Hyphenation in their Outlook preferences.
Steps for Individuals to Disable Automatic Hyphenation in Outlook:
- Open Outlook and click on the File tab.
- Select Options.
- Click on Mail from the left-hand menu.
- Click on Editor Options.
- Navigate to the Advanced tab.
- Scroll down to the Advanced Typography section.
- Uncheck the boxes for Use Smart Justification and Use Hyphenation.
- Click OK to save your changes.
- After making changes, restart Outlook to ensure they take effect.
After making these changes, emails should display without unnecessary hyphenation.
Can This Be Disabled for an Entire Organization?
For Microsoft administrators, Outlook settings can be controlled via Group Policy (GPO) or Microsoft Endpoint Manager. However, at this time, there is no specific Group Policy setting to disable Smart Justification and Automatic Hyphenation globally.
If this issue is affecting multiple users within an organization, IT administrators may need to provide guidance on adjusting individual user settings.
Conclusion
This issue is due to Microsoft Outlook’s built-in formatting settings and is not related to Firstup’s email design. Users experiencing unwanted hyphenation should adjust their Outlook settings as outlined above.
For further assistance, customers can refer to Microsoft’s official documentation or contact their IT administrators.
