I find it easier just to use Ctrl+Hyphen to insert optional hyphens where I
want them. -- Suzanne S.

One-word auto hyphen?
Ok, so I want to hyphenate only a few select words as I come across
them. I made a macro, but it's a two-step process that involves keyboard and mouse. I'd like a single process. Right now, I highlight the word. Then invoke the macro with my assigned shortcut. Then I have to click "yes" to confirm the hyphen. Is there an easier way to just highlight a word and presto, it's hyphenated?

Presumably at this point, Fishy, you could Find & Replace the select word
with the select word including an optional hyphen. You could probably also re-record the macro to include clicking yes? By the way, your clock is off, so that your post showed up 50 minutes after Suzanne answered it. Daiya On 5/10/05 7:33 PM, "Suzanne S.
