[texhax] Stopping hyphens in table of contents and headings

[Suzanna Laycock]

Hi,

Thanks for the advice.

Basically some words are being hyphenated in the chapter and section  
headings and the ToC.

I'm writing my PhD thesis so have the below, so everything is in one  
column.

\documentclass[12pt, oneside]{report}

I would like to stop getting hyphenated words in the chapter/section/ 
subsection headings because it doesn't look to good.  As far as I can  
tell I haven't adjusted the default chapter heading settings.

Can you supply some more information on how to do no. 3 " use  
\raggedright which will require that you modify the section headings  
command(s), a non-trivial task"

Thanks
Suzanna
