I have a customer who doesn't want ANY hyphenated words at the end of a line. How do I set up a document to prevent hyphenated words?
If you aren't using styles, select the text, change to paragraph view (click the ¶ at the left of the control panel) and uncheck hyphenation:
If you are using styles, turn it off for the various styles in the style definition:

So you can't set up a document with no hyphenation like you set up margins, page size, etc?

Nope. Barb said it correctly!
Hyphenation is totally different. It is tied to the language dictionary you've chosen for the text (by choosing Language from the character attributes).

Turn off Hyphenate Last Word and Cross column in the [basic paragraph] style and build new styles from there.

You can change the defaults.

Turning off Hyphenation by default. Can it be done?
For New Documents, Yes! For existing documents, No! That would have to be done manually by the user each existing document one at a time.
This is for Adobe CC 2018 but may work for older versions:
Make sure no documents are opened. Better close indesign and re-open it just to make sure.
1) In top menu click on TYPE>PARAGRAPH
2) Top right corner of Paragraph menu is a flyout menu. Click that!
3) Choose HYPHENATION
4) De-activate it by unchecking the "tick" box.
5) Press OK to make sure settings take effect.
Again NEW documents will now auto hyphenate by default. Older documents will have to be changed manually.
-Cheers!
BTW -CorelDraw Graphics Suite has this setup correctly by default!
