Automatic Hyphenation - After just 2 characters
Is it possible to stop Word 365 from placing a hyphen after the second character of a word. In other words lets say the word "domestic" starts on a new line, but when doing automatic hyphenation it puts the hyphen as follow "do-mestic".
I would prefer if it just left in on a new line. "Hyphenation zone" should solve the problem but it is disabled for DOCX files. Last edited by WJSwanepoel; 11-16-2022 at 03:35 AM. Reason: Added some important information. |

I actually don't work with automatic hyphenation, so I was just experimenting. We typically have hyphenation off in our work product. |

Thank you
Thanks for the advice.
I actually did convert to DOC format and then saved it back as DOCX. Interesting thing is that the Hyphenation zone is no longer greyed out! |

The hyphenation zone will be supported for a *.docx file if that file is in compatibility mode.
If you just resave the document and maintain compatibility with older formats, you will still see the hyphenation zone option.
