I created a print-on-demand book for a client. Before I converted to PDF for the proofreader, I applied the auto-hyphenate option. The proofreader would know to find bad breaks (e.g., "eve-ry" or "grad-er"), then I would isolate the hyphenated word and remove the hyphenation (highlight the word / Page Layout ribbon / Paragraph / click Don't hyphenate / click OK, done). But when I do that, the entire paragraph changes and shifts so that a word that might have been hyphenated at the end of the previous line is no longer hyphenated.



This isn't necessarily a bad thing, except that now the proofed version looks different from the version the client has previously viewed. And I don't want Word to do this because it's undoing a lot of work that's already been done. How do I turn off this feature?

I work on a PC using Windows 8.1 I have Office 2013, the subscriber option. When I went to save the previous version (before proofreading) as a new document, Word asked if I wanted to "maintain compatibility with previous versions of Word." If I did, I needed to cancel and check the box accordingly. Is that a drawback with having a subscriber-based version of Office?
