Manual hyphenation will not insert hyphens
(Word 2003)
I am attempting to manually hyphenate a two-page, two-column document. The manual hyphenation process works well for all but two of the paragraphs. When I try to hyphenate those paragraphs, Word shows me where it wants to insert the hyphens, and I click "Yes," but Word does not then insert the hyphens like it does for the other paragraphs in the document. All paragraphs were copied in from the same Word source document. I've tried copying in the two paragraphs again, retyping the two paragraphs, removing and manually reinserting all hyphens throughout the document, and nothing has worked. I would appreciate any thoughts you might have. |

Manual hyphenation will not insert hyphens
If the text is formatted as "Do not check spelling or grammar," this kind of
hyphenation will not work. You should still be able to insert a conditional hyphen manually using Ctrl+Hyphen. -- Suzanne S.

Manual hyphenation will not insert hyphens
Thanks very much for your response. The text throughout this document is
formatted as "Do not check spelling or grammar" (i.e., under Tools--Options--Spelling & Grammar, I have not checked the boxes "Check spelling as you type" or "Check grammar as you type"). Yet I was able to successfully use manual hyphenation (i.e., Tools--Language-Hyphenation--Manual) for all but two of the paragraphs in this document. I'm trying to figure out why it will not work in those two paragraphs. Word will hyphenate those paragraphs (and all others in the document) using automatic hyphenation, so that is my fall-back position. "Suzanne S.

Manual hyphenation will not insert hyphens
Automatic hyphenation should not work on text that is formatted as "Do not
check spelling or grammar," so there's something funny going on in your setup. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Brian" wrote in message ...
