How to Use Automatic Hyphenation in Word 2007

Enter a hyphen. Place the cursor where you want the word hyphenated and press Ctrl+– (hyphen) to create an optional hyphen, which displays only when the word falls at the end of a line.

Enter a nonbreaking hyphen. If you don’t want a hyphenated word further divided (for example, self-actual-ization), press Ctrl+Shift+– to create a nonbreaking hyphen. Word displays the hyphen but doesn’t break the word at the hyphen.
