  Another day another Indesign question.

  I'm making a book for someone. The text is essentially a load of code. No punctuation, spaces, stops, hyphens...

  When I paste the code, unformatted, into a text box Indesign auto hyphenates it at the end of each line.

  Clicking the paragraph style in use, and turning off hyphenation just makes the text disappear. I can't work out how to do it. The code is about 24pp A4 at 7pt, so there's a lot. It is to be seen in columns 72 characters wide, with no hyphenating.

  It is disappearing because unless its hyphenated its longest line length is too long for the text box.

  Try it at a smaller text size, or a condensed font to allow more characters per line.

  Wait, are there paragraph returns in the code? At the end of each 72 character line?
