no-hyphenate list

[Janet S]

Is there a way in Word 2007 to create a list of words that should never be
hyphenated in a particular document? Perhaps a way to edit the hyphenation
dictionary?

You can apply a "no proofing" character style to specific words; see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/MasterSpellCheck.htm#ExemptingText for
instructions on constructing such a style. "Proofing" in this case includes
spelling, grammar, and hyphenation, all provided by the Proofing Tools.

Thank you, Suzanne. Creating a no-proofing character style is a great tip.
That will work within a document, but there's no way to have a list or style
or whatever of words that should not be proofed that will apply across
documents, right? If there is, please let me know.
Thanks again.

You can create AutoText entries or formatted AutoCorrect entries that have
the No Proofing style applied. Would that help?

Yes, that would help.
Thank you again.
