Hyphenation ... It's me, right?

[Mark Charalambous]

Been using Pub 3.0 for years. Works great.
Produced a newsletter, want to get it printed up digitally
at a shop.
Shop 1 says "No Publisher, give me pdf"

No luck on the pdf conversion.

Shop 2 says "We can print Publisher!"

So, they bring the doc into their newer version, and of
course the spacing is off and text is truncated.

Too make a long story short, I investigate in at leats 3
other installations of Publisher, and what I have
discovered is that newre versions of Publisher will not
hyphenate any text that is pasted into a document.

The reason my doc had truncated text was because the shop's
version of Publisher had un-hyphenated all the text. ANd
nothing I could do would get it to re-hyphenate.

I verified this by (at another installation), simply
pasting text from a Word cosument into a new .pub file. It
would not hyphenate.

When I just typed in new text,I can turn hyphenation on or
off (Tools->Language->Hyphenate ... what a bizarre place to
move it to ... Publisher 3.0 is much better designed that
its descendents).

So, anyone know what gives? I can't believe I'm the first
person tpo notice that Pub won't hyphenate pasted text.

I know for a fact that Micosoft Publisher 1.0 and newer allow hyphenation of
pasted text.

No, the fact that you went all the way back to Publisher 1.0 (and
categorically stated it)

Brian ain't been around long enough for Publisher 1.0

I could tell an official lie, but I won't - I have been around that long.

However, nobody has been around as long as Ed, and he has old timers disease
to prove it.
