 * Hi!!! Please help me. How can I hyphen a text in a justified paragraph? I mean
   that sylabes can break with a dash so words in a justified paragraph cant be 
   too separeted between them.

 * Hi Steve, thanks for your reply but how can I apply this to a paragraph in WordPress?
   Should I applicate this in the css? if so how? Should I applicate this to the
   html code if so how? Thanks very much.

 * **To add CSS:**
    - If you are using WordPress 4.7 or later, use the “Additional CSS” option in
      the customizer.
    - If your theme has a custom CSS option, use that to add the CSS.
    - If not, install the plugin [Simple Custom CSS](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/).
 * Learn to use the [Chrome Developer Tools](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/)
   to help you see and test changes to your CSS.
