Disable 'hyphenation feature' forever for all documents in Word2007?

[pstein]

Occasionally I get documents in foreign languages like german and french.



When I open them I got always a warning popup:

"Word hyphenation feature is not available. Run the MS Office Setup program..."

Yes, I could buy and install the hyphenation feature for these languages as well. But I don't want it.

How can I PERMANENTLY and FOREVER and FOR ALL DOCS (even english) disable this popup resp feature (in Word2007)?

The docs itself should NOT be touched.

There are several options for disabling spellchecking (some of these are document-specific and others are installation-specific; see http://wordfaqs.mvps.org/MasterSpellCheck.htm).

However, if you want to suppress hyphenation, you must apply "Do not check spelling or grammar" formatting to the text in the document. You can apply this as a style or to the selected text via Review tab | Set Language.

All the mentioned solution do ONLY work for one (=the current) document.
But I want to disable check spelling for ALL documents at once.

How can I achieve this?

You can instruct Word not to check spelling automatically, but, as far as I know, this doesn't affect the automatic hyphenation activated by the document creator. Adding "Don't check spelling or grammar" formatting to text will suppress the message. I do realize that this isn't what you were hoping for.
