= SUMMARY =

To remove automatic hyphenation (that is, hyphens that have been added by using the Hyphenation command), you can delete the optional hyphen characters by doing a global search and replace:


 * 1) From the Edit menu, choose Replace (in Word 4, Utilitites/Change, in Word 3, Search/Change).
 * 2) Type “^-” (caret+hyphen, without the quotation marks) in the Find What: box (the caret [^] is created by pressing SHIFT+6).
 * 3) Leave the Replace With: box empty. Click Replace All.

Note: If any text is selected before Change is chosen, then the change will only affect that text.
