One word on two line
Hello,
When a word in the sentence can't fit in the first line, if this one word has to break two parts and is written on the two line, is there a rule?
For example,
I am a computer spe-
cialist.
something like this..
Q1) Is it okay to separate one word on two line?
Q2) how to break one word to two, if I have to ? Is there a rule?

You need to break the word between accepted syllables as per the dictionary. For instance, with 'specialist' you can separate the word as spe-cialist or special-ist . I should warn you, however, not to follow newspaper practice.
