Hyphenating (or Not) in Word

TIP OF THE DAY
Hyphenating (or Not) in Word
Do not insert a hyphen by simply pressing the hyphen key, because the hyphen will stay there even if the word appears in the middle of a line and doesn't need to be broken in half. Instead, when a big gap appears in the fight margin and a word is crying out to be hyphenated, put the cursor where the hyphen needs to go and press Ctrl+hyphen. This way, you tell Word to make the hyphen appear only if the word breaks at the end of a line. To remove a manual hyphen, press the Show/Hide Paragraph Marks button so that you can see it; then backspace over it.
