    When to do when columns are narrow and there are overfull lines?

    1. Rewrite the text until the overfull lines disappear.
    2. Increase the tolerance. (reduce overfull boxes, but the lines will look awful)
    3. Increase the value of \emergencystretch. (reduce badness of lines and, consequently, no. of overfull boxes. better than 2)
    4. Increase the value of \hbadness and/or \hfuzz. (declare fewer lines as overfull/underfull. rarely used)
    5. Execute \overfullrule=0pt.
    6. Use \raggedright. (best way!!)
    7. Fiddle with \looseness.
    8. Change the space factor codes of the punctuation marks to get more stretch (or more shrink) than normal in the interword glue following them.
    9. If all else fails, try to increase \hsize to widen the paragraph.
