Gary, 

This is more end of line hyphens such as (hav-ing) (Washing-ton).

I have discussed this with K1000.  It appears to be the case only rarely, 
and only in those words which are compound words such as twelve-year-old 
where, if it has a line end after twelve, you might find twelveyear-old.  It

would show up in the rank spelling feature in any case and searching that 
would take considerably less time than correcting that many hyphens.
Hope this helps.
