Publisher 2003 hyphenation can't be changed for one word

[Nobody Home]

Hello:

I'm trying to work on a newsletter, in a three column format that needs
hyphenation turned on, so the justified text looks better. However,
there is one word that it wants to hyphenate (the word is eScrip, a
company name), which should not be hyphenated.

I've seen older articles in this NG suggesting various work-arounds,
including turning hyphenation off for the whole story, changing the
font size, inserting carriage returns, and changing the spelling of the
word itself. However, none of this is acceptable.

Isn't there a way to select one word, and tell Publisher *not* to
hyphenate it? I'm sure I've seen that in other products that do
hyphenation. (Maybe that was back when Lotus Ami Pro was around. I
don't do much publishing!)

That's all I want, for Publisher to *normally* hyphenate, but when I
need an exception, it needs to allow the exception. How does it know
not to hyphenate, words like "word"? (Or does it? I know from a
previous article, it doesn't know not to do "was-n't"!)

By the way, if you decide to reply to my e-mail, you leave the "nospam"
in, because that's my real newsgroup e-mail. But, I've got the spam
filter set pretty high, so it might get filtered if it even smells the
slightest of spam, or brushes past some spam on it's way through all
those Internet pipes! ;-)

Select the word when it has been hyphenated, Tools, language, hyphenation,
manually, no...

I forgot a step
Highlight the word, Tools, language, hyphenation, clear automatically hyphenate
this story..., manually, no.

Regarding Mary's response:

First suggestion:
Selecting "No" gives the same result as selecting "Yes". The word is
still hyphenated.

Second suggestion:

I forgot a step
Highlight the word, Tools, language, hyphenation, clear automatically hyphenate
this story..., manually, no.

Clearing the checkbox unhyphenates the whole story, as expected,
whether the word is selected or not. I need the story hyphenated, but
need to exclude ONE WORD which is inappropriately hyphenated.

When hyphenating a word manually, I can change where the hyphen is
placed (even at the very end of the word), but I cannot get rid of it.
If I answer "No", it hyphenates the word anyway. I think manual
hyphenation is not asking me whether I want the word hyphenated, it's
just asking me if I want to choose where it is hyphenated.

Again, I want the story hyphenated, with the exception of one word. I
want to exclude only one word in the document from hyphenation without
turning off hyphenation for the whole story.

Any other suggestions?

I have tried to tame the eScrip word, used various methods to keep it from
hyphenating. I can't change it. It is a mystery to me why Publisher wants to
hyphenate it. You might try adjusting the letter spacing or the hyphenation
zone.
