We're going to need a better description of the problem. What is Word
doing... and what do you want it to do? Also, since you said "right out of
the box", would we be correct in assuming that you're using Word 2003?

I'm writing a construction note document. Word is cutting words into at
inappropriate places even cutting off one letter and the rest of the word in
on the next line. There is no sign of hyphenation. hyphenation is turned
off for the auto hyphen and I choose manual but nothing happened. The only
way I can get the entire word together is to put spacess at the end of the
sentence to push it into the next line. I've never seen anything like this
with any word processor from day one of word processing.

Hi John,
Are you seeing this in 'Print Layout' view or in 'Normal'
(fast drafting) view?
What font are you using?
Do you have a printer selected in File=>print in Word?

One of the last things you ever want to do is add spaces to fill up a line
and force a break. Do you have "Show/Hide" turned on???? If so, what's it
show ????

Any place I have found to show formating, I have turned on but all I ever see
is the paragraph markers. If there is a 'show/hide' in this program on a
menu, I can't find it.

I tried a new doc using normal and times new roman and it did not split the
words. When I switched to city blueprint it started splitting the words
again. I had used this font many times in word 2000 before upgrading and did
not have this problem. So is there any way to fix this other than throwing
out 2003 and going back to 2000?

Sure: Throw away your CityBlueprint font.
The version I found for free download on the Internet looks like a fretwork
week-end project done by a Fontographer amateur.
It's encoded as a symbol font and doesn't contain any information on the
letters. So Word can't tell an X from an A.
I doubt that Word2000 would be able to make any sense of that font either.
You'd likely have exactly the same problems.
My guess is that the version on the Internet is a cheap clone of a
commercial font with the same name that you may have had installed with
Word2000.

I was wrong about the CityBlueprint TT font I downloaded being a clone.
It shows the copyright of the original creator, Copyright 1992-96 Payne
Loving Trust.
Though there seem to be both PostScript version available, too.
Maybe you used that before?
It seems the font had exactly the same problems in Word2000:
http://groups.google.com/group/micr..._frm/thread/bc64adb2e4053c39/970c106f63922f0b
(and quite a few other complaints).
With a symbol font, not only hyphenation doesn't work. Spell and grammar
checking, AutoCorrect, or Autotext won't work either.
Neither any of the built-in keyboard shortcuts except Alt+XXX.
You can't even copy and paste as plain text, or change the font to some
other font without a macro once you've saved the document, because symbols
use different codes than normal letters. And so on.

Thanks for the info....I thought I remembered something about problems with
CityBlueprint font.

The font you mention is incorrectly coded as a "symbol" font (like Symbol or
Wingdings). For this type of font, Word does not recognized "words" and
believes they can be broken anywhere. I don't believe there is any solution
to this aside from editing the font.

I have a split word eg. "adminis" one one line and "tered" on the next. How
can I fix without changing margins or size of text.

If Word is splitting words without hyphenating them, this is a good sign of
a corrupt document. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm
