Then it could be word trying to fit into your printer margins, though I've never seen that particular problem before, maybe I've just been lucky. 


Change the margins to as wide as they will go and see if that helps.

But Bob, she is talking about hyphens that appear in the middle of words.
There is not a find and replace for that problem that I know about.

Here's how the manual puts it:
"Convert em dashes to double hyphens by using the find and replace dialogue 
as follows:

In the find box type: ^+

In the Replace box type: -- (That is two hyphens or two dashes, depending
upon what you call that key to the right of the zero on the number row.)"



That's always worked for me.



Thanks,

Bob

Hi all,

I have gone through all of the recommended steps from the manual, but I
cannot figure out how to eliminate optional hyphens that are occurring in 
the middle of words. The only way I am catching them is by reading and
then
only a partial word is announced, yet if you arrow through the word, it
is
all there and says optional hyphen.

Any suggestions?

Lori
