Default "Don't hyphen" option in the Paragraph menu

This is my suggestion about clarity of Word's user-interface.

The Paragraph/"Don't hyphen" option in Word is somewhat hard to realize
because it is negatively phrased. Unchecked it means that the user chose not
to not hyphenate, which simply means hyphanate.

In general, I think it's better not to create negative attributes having
binary values and that all attribute should state positively, whatever the
default value is. This remark is also valid for program variables by the way
:-))

In this particular case, this option would be clearer if it simply stated
"Hyphenate"...

For compatibility, simply create a new property which yields the opposite of
the already existing one...
