You don't mention the version of Word you are using.
For 2003 and prior, Tools, Language, Hyphenation, uncheck the "Automatically hyphenate document". For 2007 I am not exactly sure where you will find this control, do a search for hyphenation. If this problem is occuring in all you new documents, you may need to open the normal.dot and take of the hyphenation there, as well as in the individual files. Hope this helps DeanH "wbeam" wrote: The word starts at the end of a line and ends at the start of the next line. |
