Default How to keep hyphenated words on the same line?

You can turn off automatic hyphenation. In Word 2007, in the Page Layout
ribbon tab, choose Hyphenation - None.

In Word 2003, try Tools - Language - Hyphenation, and remove the check next
to Automatically hyphenate document.

I used to be able to make hyphenated words drop to the next line. Now the
hyphen remains at the end of the line and the second part of the word goes
to
the next line.
To make a non-breaking hyphen I have to do: Control + shift + hyphen. (It
used to be automatic on an older version.)
How can I get this? I've searched all over the place.
