Yes and no. You can globally replace the hyphen and
space with nothing, and the word will close itself.
You may find that it will stay on the first line or it
will move to the second. The problem with this,
though, is that words that should be hyphenated and
happen to have the hyphen at the end of the line will
become nonhyphenated, e.g. nonhyhphenated that
probably should be hyphenated only I closed it for
this email, or, another example two-year-old child,
Pick-and-Save, etc. What I do is just delete the
hyphen and the space that follows it. That is easier
than moving the first half of the word, because, as I
say, it closes automatically. Of course, if the break
comes at the end of a page, you do have to move one
part of the word or another to either page you choose.
This reminds me of another problem that I have run
into. Depending on the scanner, and here I think I
mean the machine and not the person, lines have hard
returns when they shouldn't. Some people, to save
time, globally replace those hard returns with
nothing. This results in no paragraphs at all, and the
validator had to separate the sentences into
paragraphs. I know deleting the hard return and
replacing it with a space can be annoying, but...It is
also possible to blacken a whole paragraph except for
the final hard return and replace with a space. This
sometimes creates two spaces between words but it does
save some time--not a whole lot, though, because
blackening the paragraph carefully and, for me,
eliminating that second space, probably takes as much
time as deleting them one at a time as I go along.
