Dear Tom, and Cindy, I hope you'll jump in if I'm babbling nonsense,

Anyway, Tom, I used a trick to put those divided words together. I used the find command and asked it to find the next hyphen space. I landed on the last word on a line, always divided and followed by a hyphen, and made decisions if I should delete the hyphen or not.I always deleted them and put the word together if jaws read it strangely so a reader wouldn't have to stop and figure out what he just heard.

Might that work. It could be too slow a method, but I actually don't know any fast ways yet, Hashanah

Always With Love,

Lissi

Tom,

I haven't tried to answer this before because I don't
know the difference between optional hyphens and
regular hyphens, and I don't know if your Word is the
same as mine.

When I'm validating and run across words that hve
spaces between them and shouldn't, or words that have
hyphens and shouldn't, I  copy the word into replace,
put the correct word into replace all, and do it. I
find that faster than correcting each word all the
time. I suspect, though, that afer you finish reading,
if that's what you're doing, a spell-check will catch
those words that are hyphenated and shouldn't be.

But are you sure those hyphens are there by mistake?
Some older English books, (early 20th-century and
before)like the Dorothy Sayers and Agatha Christie,
and even if I remember correctly the Whistling Hangman
which was written in the United States, I believe,
hyphenated words that we no longer due. When I've
accepted a book like that I've put a note about those
hyphens in the long synopsis.

Cindy

Tom,

  Did you try looking it up in Word's Help
information?  Here's what I found.

  Remove hyphenation

  If you used automatic hyphenation   On the Tools
menu, point to Language, and then click Hyphenation.
Clear the Automatically hyphenate document check
box.

  Gerald

Friends, does any one know how to turn off the optional hyphens that are placed in the middle of the pages byMicrosoft Word, splitting words for no apparent reason? Thanks for the help,Tom Hawkins
