Assuming it's not hyphenating but just splitting a word arbitrarily, this is
a symptom of a damaged font (rarely) or (much more often) document
corruption; see

Hi All
I have a very irritating problem in Word. The settings have changed so it
splits a word in half rather than move the whole word to a new line. I
have
looked in tools options and format paragraph (and changed the widow
controls)
but no joy.
Any help greatly appreciated
