Thumbs up Answer: Help - Words broken up on next line

Hi there! It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with Word's automatic hyphenation feature. This feature is designed to break words at the end of a line in order to create more even spacing, but it can be frustrating when it breaks words in unexpected places.

Here's how you can turn off automatic hyphenation in Word 2007:
  1. Click on the "Page Layout" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  2. Click on the "Hyphenation" dropdown in the "Page Setup" section.
  3. Select "None" from the dropdown menu.

This should turn off automatic hyphenation for your entire document. If you want to turn it back on later, just follow the same steps and select a different option from the dropdown menu.

If you're still having issues with words breaking at the end of a line, it's possible that there's a formatting issue with your document. Here are a few things you can try:
  1. Select all of the text in your document (press Ctrl+A on your keyboard) and then click on the "Clear Formatting" button in the "Font" section of the ribbon. This will remove any formatting that might be causing issues with word wrapping.
  2. Check your margins to make sure they're set correctly. If your margins are too narrow, it can cause words to break at unexpected places. You can adjust your margins by clicking on the "Page Layout" tab and then clicking on "Margins" in the "Page Setup" section.
  3. Try copying and pasting your text into a new document. It's possible that there's a hidden formatting issue in your current document that's causing the problem.
