Default automatic hyphenation

Then I'd suggest that you install the appropriate proofing tools on your
machine.

The language at the insertion point for hyphenation (there are 2 of them
where the popup appears) are in both cases English (US).

Do you think the frames - having been forced to move by subsequent text
revisions - might be the case for the repaginations?

Make sure that the correct language is applied to text. Look at the
status bar to see the text applied at the insertion point.

I am using Word 2002 in XP.

Every time I open a certain very large Word document I received from
someone else who revised some of its content and formatting, my
Word pops up with an error message saying it cannot hyphenate this
document and do I want to install that function. I am not sure if
this is because: a) the person who created the document had hyphenation
installed on
his version of Word
b) or it is a setting on my own Word.

Because this document is for publication, what I really want is for
my Word to open the document _exactly_ as the author created it. I
am not sure if that means I should install hyphenation on my Word
or change some setting so Word does not repaginate the long
document when it opens it on my PC. How do I go about that?

(The person who sent the document to me does not know if he has
hyphenation installed or not).

A related problem on this very long document. To ensure exact
placement of numerous images on its pages extensive use of frames
in which the images were placed was used. With the many text
revisions that this document has undertaken the document now
exhibits a nasty habit of changing and rechanging some of the pages
when the Index is created. I assume this is because of its
different repaginations it undergoes when Word opens it but do not
know if that is because of the hyphenation error it gives me or
because the many frames are confusing it. If it is the frames how
do I find out which frames are the problem ones? This is a 500 page
document. Thank you.
