automatic hyphenation
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. Jeff |

Make sure that the correct language is applied to text. Look at the status
bar to see the text applied at the insertion point. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP wrote in message ... I am using Word 2002 in XP.

Obviously I meant to write, "Look at the status bar to see the *language*
applied at the insertion point." -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... Make sure that the correct language is applied to text.

automatic hyphenation
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?

Then I'd suggest that you install the appropriate proofing tools on your
machine. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP wrote in message ... The language at the insertion point for hyphenation (there are 2 of them where the popup appears) are in both cases English (US).
