I am new to LaTeX and I am trying to write my dissertation using LaTeX. Recently, I was working on this tutorial with Lipsum to create random text. Upon compiling, I see that some of these lines are overhanging. Is there a simple way to avoid this?

documentclass[12pt,letterpaper,oneside]{article}

usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}

usepackage{fontspec} % Allows to choose any system font with XeLaTeX

setmainfont{Palatino} % Sets main font to Arial, Book Antiqua, Helvetica Neue

usepackage{lipsum} % To generate test text, use lipsum[#numoflines#] in body

usepackage{tocloft} % Package for Table of Contents, Lists of Figures and Tables

renewcommand{contentsname}{Table of Contents} % Changes the 'Contents' to 'Table of Contents'

renewcommand{cftsecleader}{cftdotfill{cftdotsep}} % Sets the dots in the section leader in Table of Contents; See PDF

renewcommand{cftdot}{.} % Renews the Dots in the TOC to user chosen symbols

renewcommand{cfttoctitlefont}{Huge} % Renews the TOC title font. Can set the size or font type

The lines are overhanging into the right-hand margin because there are no hyphenation patterns for some of the words to properly break them. You can try adding sloppy at the beginning of the document; this loosens the restrictions on stretch for lines that have protruding text, like in your case. Compare the below with/without sloppy:

documentclass{article}



usepackage{lipsum}



begin{document}



sloppylipsum[1-50]



end{document}

Alternatively, use a different text generator, like kantlipsum or blindtext.

kant[1-50]



blindtext
