Help - Words broken up on next line
Problem: When I am typing in MS Word 2007 the last word of my line will break
off and go to the next line. It is as if I have asked it to hyphenate words, however I didn't and it does not put a "-" in the break. It also may break after only the first letter of the word and then continue the rest of the word on the next line. Desired Solution: For words that will not fit on a line to automatically be moved to the next line rather than just break off. What I have tried: I thought it may have been an issue with "text wrapping", "word wrap", "hyphenation", margins, or default settings. I cannot fix it by editing those. I have tried "removing" formatting as well. Nothing has worked to remove it. I have stumped two tech support people with this issue as well. How it Started: It started when I pasted some text from a web site into Word. I thought perhaps that messed up the formatting, but it doesn't make sense that it would effect everything... Now when I open a new document the same thing happens. Somehow it has altered my settings of Word, not just the one document. Any help would be much appreciated. I have my MS Office 2007 CDs so as a last resort I could uninstall & reinstall, but I think there must be an easier solution. Thanks for your help! |

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:
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:

Help - Words broken up on next line
This is usually a symptom of a damaged (or incorrectly encoded) font or a
corrupt document. Some fonts are identified as "decorative"; these include fonts such as Symbol and Wingdings. Since they are not used for alphanumeric text, they are allowed to break anywhere. If an ordinary alphanumeric font is incorrectly tagged as "decorative," then it will have that behavior. If that is the case, there is no recourse but to choose a different font (or find an undamaged version if damage is the issue). In my experience, however, this is much more often the result of a corrupt document; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm -- Suzanne S.

In case the "your document must be corrupt" response wasn't the solution, see
my post dated 3/5/2010 regarding how to change the word wrap settings in Word 2007. Hope it helps.
