Yes, I know how to do that in word, but, I had a brain freeze a while
ago and made a mess of it, but then, I still have the original to work
with, maybe tomorrow.  

For now, I think I am going to read for pleasure for a while.

You could do one of two things. If the words should
not be hyphenated, you can globally replace  (replace
All) hyphen tab with nothing. That should close up all
those words. The hyphen and the tab can be found if
you click More and then Special and scroll up, at
least on my Word. If  you're using something else like
K1000, ask here and someone will tell you what to do.
If you want to keep the hyphens, replace  hyphen tab
with just hyphen.
