Thanks for your help. I'm going to release this book because when I remove the hyphen the whole line moves up creating a very long line and then several carry over words on the next line.
I don't know. These problems may relate to the need to edit with Word 2007, and I am just not comfortable making the necessary updates.
I had to reject a book earlier this week (for a problem I can't recall) and I have an .ark file which needs five pages rescanned. I contacted the submitter and am waiting for her response.
This book on Practicing Theology would be very interesting to me, but there just seem to be complications I'm not comfortable fixing. I do hope that someone who does not mind updating their Word 2003 can take and enjoy this book.

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.

On each page there are at least three lines that end with a hyphenated word. Thus far, I have been cutting the beginning of the word and moving it to the line below to eliminate lines ending with a hyphen. Is there a setting I can use so that words will not be hyphenated?
