If the text is formatted as "Do not check spelling or grammar," this kind of
hyphenation will not work. You should still be able to insert a conditional
hyphen manually using Ctrl+Hyphen.

I am attempting to manually hyphenate a two-page, two-column document.
The
manual hyphenation process works well for all but two of the paragraphs.
When I try to hyphenate those paragraphs, Word shows me where it wants to
insert the hyphens, and I click "Yes," but Word does not then insert the
hyphens like it does for the other paragraphs in the document.
All paragraphs were copied in from the same Word source document. I've
tried copying in the two paragraphs again, retyping the two paragraphs,
removing and manually reinserting all hyphens throughout the document, and
nothing has worked. I would appreciate any thoughts you might have.
