Dear friends, sometimes I see quite strange behavior in Word 2013. Lines may have wrong hyphenation (or even pagination) - it is obvious that a line should be hyphenated another way. It looks weird and it is enough for me to print a space and delete it (just push two buttons) for Word to refresh hyphenation/pagination and make it good on single line. Is there a possibility (may be - a hot key) to refresh hyphenation/pagination in whole document at once?




Is this a kind of Word 2013 feature, because Word 2003 is refreshing and keeping hyphenation/pagination all the time?


Thank you.

Could you give us a specific example of what you see?

Attach a Sample File Demonstrating the Problem - Here's How

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?" The controls for Hyphenation are on the Layout tab of your ribbon, in the Page Setup block to the right. You could turn it completely off and then reapply, but also have a look at the Hyphenation Options in that dropdown. Maybe you just need to narrow the zone.

Here is it. On pic 1 - there is a paragraph with obviously wrong hyphenation. On pic 2 I'm just adding the space. On pic 3 I'm deleting the space and get pretty fine hyphenation. The thing is that the same problem I have with pagination - with breaking paragraphs between pages.

I did and got no effect. The thing is that the same story is about pagination, not just hyphenation.

What about using the "Optional Hyphen" at the position you want to divide a word?
Insert | Symbol | Special characters

??? This is definitely not what I'm looking for. I want this to be done automatically, not manually.

Guys, I'm facing even more weird thing. I see some spaces after paragraphs appeared in random places. They are not presented in style or whereever, but can be seen on pages. As soon as I add single space-character, they disappear - please, compare pic 1 (unexpected space after paragraph) and 2 (I just printed single space-shar). It seems to me that all of problems I'm talking about have the same nature...

It does automatically. Hyphenation oftenly failes and that's the solution.

Dear experts, please, pay attention to my previous post with screenshots. It is really weird behavior (I can't reasonably explain this) and I suppose that it is related to the key problem, which results in hyphenation/pagination refreshing difficulties also. I would be thankful for any advice (except Word reinstallation ))))
