Words Divided at end of line - how to correct whose document (Word 2013)

Try..

1. Control-Shift-Hyphen
2. Control-Shift-Spacebar

Hi,

pls try

Home / Editing / Replace

if you don't see the Special button, click More.
Click Special
Click Optional Hyphen to remove manual hyphens.
or
Click Nonbreaking Hyphen to remove nonbreaking hyphens.

Leave the Replace with box empty.
Click Find Next, Replace, or Replace All.

Regards

You could do a find and replace,

Find: -
Replace:  (leave blank)

In Publisher there is a setting in Options that will produce Auto-Hyphenation. It can be disabled but it only applies to text Boxes that are created after the setting is disabled. Those created prior to changing the setting will retain their hyphens but again a Find and Replace should remove them.

Thanks for the information above.
The problem is that I have a lot of hyphens which I entered in the text which do NOT occur at the end of a Page and which I need to keep.   (ever-increasing; Indo-China; anti-clerical; Moulin-a-Vent etc)

I only want to delete the hypens at the end of lines (which divide whole words). I can do this manually, but I was wondering if there is a quick way of going about it.

Hi,

pls try

Sub SearchHyphenEndOfLine()
    Dim iCount As Integer
    Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
    With Selection.Find
        .ClearFormatting
        .Text = "-"
        .Replacement.Text = ""
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = False
        .Execute
    End With

    Do While Selection.Find.Found = True And iCount < 1000
        iCount = iCount + 1
        HyphenLn = Selection.Information(wdFirstCharacterLineNumber)
        Set rng = ActiveDocument.Range(Selection.End, Selection.End + 1)
        If rng.Information(wdFirstCharacterLineNumber) > HyphenLn Then
            Selection.Delete
        End If
        Selection.Find.Execute
    Loop
End Sub

Select allOpen in new window
