I agree that considering hyphenation a "spelling" issue is a stretch.

Thank you. Both solutions, yours and Klaus's, solve the problem. These
have
to rank near the top of MS Word obscure solutions. Thanks again.

You can also define a character style formatted as Default Paragraph
Font +
Do not check spelling or grammar and apply that style to words you don't
want hyphenated.

in certain sentences. Is this doable? Thanks.


Hi wammac,

Yes: Select the word(s), and check "Tools Language Set language
Do
not
check spelling or grammar".
You can do that with Find/Replace, too, and could record a macro if
you
need
it often.

Regards,
Klaus
