Help with automating Hyphenation in Word XP

[Bob]

HI,

I am trying to automate the use of hyphenation in word XP - how can I
programmatically control which of the word-split options to take?

I also only want to do this on some portions of the document, not all of the
document

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Bob

Hi Bob,

I don't believe there is any programmering interface for working with Word's
hyphenation as it executes. And I don't think it would be necessary, as you
could simply insert Chr$(31) (a hyphenation hyphen) into the text where ever
you'd like to allow it to break?

Hi Bob,

I am trying to automate the use of hyphenation in word XP - how can I
programmatically control which of the word-split options to take?

From the macro recorder:

With ActiveDocument
.AutoHyphenation = True
.HyphenateCaps = True
.HyphenationZone = MillimetersToPoints(7.5)
.ConsecutiveHyphensLimit = 0
End With

I also only want to do this on some portions of the document,
not all of the document

I don't think you can have different options for different portions of the
document.
At least, the VBA help says they all apply to documents.

Greetings,
Klaus

Thanks Klaus,

I was hoping to be able to choose which hyphenation position within a word
to use as the break point.

Cheers

Bob
