But hyphenation DOES work!

[Jim Wood]

I'm running Word from Office 2007 (with that darned 'Ribbon'!), but in the
Compatibility Mode with a document created in much-more-friendly Word 2003.
Within a few seconds after my document loads, I get a message saying that the
auto-hyphenation feature isn't resident, and that I should run the
installation program again. Well, it IS working just fine, thank you,
automatically hyphenating my .doc as I work. Is this a concern or just a bug?

This might be a sign that *part* of the text is formatted in a language that
hasn't been installed. Select the whole document and apply the appropriate
language.

Also, make sure that you turn off "Detect language automatically" (Review
tab | Set Language).
