Bad hyphenation of the prefix "mis"

[Marvin42]

Our office proofreader just noticed something strange about Word 2007. Some
words are hyphenating in the wrong place. For example, instead of
hyphenating at "mis-represent" we see "mi-srepresent." We also see
"mi-santhrope" and "misanth-rope." It seems like the dictionary's
hyphenation rules are just bad for some words. Is there a way to fix this?

There are several issues with WOrd2007 hyphenation that are being looked
into. There's no timeframe for a fix though.

Thanks. Can you tell me if these issues are documented anywhere that I could
show to my coworkers?

All I can tell you is that we have raised this as a bug with Microsoft and
it is on their list. Hopefully it will be sorted for Office 14.
