The OP didn't say whether the hyphenation error also occurred with
"Christ's." In fact, since the OP has not returned at all, we may all
be talking to ourselves.

It works inasmuch as the formatted autocorrect will store and apply
the no proofing attribute, but you will need two copies if to want
to correct lower case entry also (four if you want to correct
Christ's or christ's). --

Have you tested this, Graham? I just took Tony Jollans' word for it
that that wouldn't work--that a character style would be required. I
did wonder about the lc, but I guess as long as you're
AutoCorrecting, you might as well save yourself the extra effort of
capitalizing as well.

Autocorrect would have been my suggestion also, but you don't
really need either a character style (though it is more elegant)
or a lower case christ as the trigger word. If you can normally
remember to use the shift key then use Christ as the trigger word
and simply apply the no proofing language option to the word
before selecting it as the formatted autotext replacement.

Okay, I'm back with (mostly) good news. It turns out that the
first MVP who tried this couldn't reproduce it because the error
does not occur in English (UK), only in English (US). I've now
had reports from several other MVPs who *can* reproduce it, and
they've come up with some workarounds that may help:
1. The first line of attack is to format "Christ" as "Do not check
spelling or grammar." This will prevent it from being hyphenated.

2. There are several ways to do this. The most direct, of course,
is just to select the word, go to Review | Proofing | Set
Language, and check the box for "Do not check spelling or
grammar." Needless to say, this would be ridiculously cumbersome.

3. One alternative possibility would be to use Find and Replace,
upon completion of a document, to search for "Christ" and apply
the "Do not check..." formatting. Still less than satisfactory.

4. You can define a character style as "Default Paragraph Font +
Do not check spelling or grammar" and apply it to every instance
of "Christ." If you assign a keyboard shortcut to the style, you
can apply it fairly quickly, but this is still less than optimal.

5. Now, however, the pièce de résistance, a way to completely
automate the process:

a. Define the "No Proofing" character style and apply it to
"Christ."
b. Select "Christ" and go to Office Button | Word Options |
Proofing | AutoCorrect Options. "Christ" should already be in the
"With" box.
c. Select the radio button for "Formatted text."

d. In the replace box, type "christ" (lowercase).

e. Click OK.

Now whenever you type "christ," you'll get "Christ," formatted
with the No Proofing style, and it will not be hyphenated
regardless of where it occurs.

I am having a rather strange problem with Word 2007. When the
word "Christ" comes at the end of a line, Word hyphenates it as
"Chr-" on one line and "ist" on the next. This makes no sense
since monosyllabic words are never hyphenated.

I've tried disabling the spelling, etc., that was recommended for
others, but it has no effect. Word does this in every document
and with any/every font. The only thing that works is to disable
hyphenation for the entire document, which is not really an
option for me. I have not found Word to hyphen any other single
syllable words in
this way.
Being a minister and seminary professor, the name of my Savior
comes at the
end of a lot of lines. Does anyone know how to fix this?
