How can I turn off hyphenation in LaTeX? And is there any way to leave
the text ragged-right? Thanks.

I use \pretolerance=10000 and \raggedright .

But I have a different question: how can I turn ON hyphenation AND
leave the text ragged-right. I.e. try hyphenation if a line will be
more than (e.g.) 1cm short.
