Undoing automatic hyphenation on a single word in Word 2007
If I have selected automatic hyphenation in a Word 2007 document, and
I don't like the way it has done a single word, is there any way I can override it and change it to something I like for that single word without disabling the automatic function for the whole document? Or am I stuck with having to do it manual for the whole doc? -Butterfly Bill |

Yes. Hyphenation is part of the proofing tools, so if you set a work to No
Proofing it will be excluded from Spelling, Grammar and Hyphenation. So just select the word and mark it for No Proofing. If you need to do this regularly, you can create a Character Style and apply that by assigning a keyboard shortcut to the Style. If you need to exclude a particular word throughout a very long document, you can use Search and Replace. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Butterfly Bill" wrote in message ...

And how do I do that? What buttons do I push? I select the word, then go to Page Layout, then everything I can possibly do with the Hyphenation button results in the whole document being affected, whether or not a word is selected. (I have Help search for "proofing", and a get a list of results none of which mention hyphenation.) |

Select the Word, then the Review Tab, Set Language and check the 'Do not
check spelling or grammar' option. Terry "Butterfly Bill" wrote in message ... On Jul 29, 3:15 am, "Terry Farrell" wrote: Yes.
