One-word auto hyphen?

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

I find it easier just to use Ctrl+Hyphen to insert optional hyphens where I
want them.

Ok, so I want to hyphenate only a few select words as I come across
them. I made a macro, but it's a two-step process that involves
keyboard and mouse. I'd like a single process. Right now, I
highlight the word. Then invoke the macro with my assigned shortcut.
Then I have to click "yes" to confirm the hyphen.

Is there an easier way to just highlight a word and presto, it's
hyphenated? It seems my only other option is automatic hyphenating
of the whole damn document, which I want to avoid at all costs.

Forgot to tell you all -- I'm using Word 2000.

Presumably at this point, Fishy, you could Find & Replace the select word
with the select word including an optional hyphen.

You could probably also re-record the macro to include clicking yes?

By the way, your clock is off, so that your post showed up 50 minutes after
Suzanne answered it.

Probably the wrong time zone setting (or maybe he's in Indiana?)

She's in Oregon and never knows what time it is, anyway.
