= SUMMARY =

If a document is hyphenated using the Hyphenate feature in Microsoft Word, and the document is later altered so that the hyphenated words are no longer at the end of the lines, the hyphens still appear in Show Paragraphs mode in Word versions 3.x or 4.00.

Hyphens inserted by choosing Hyphenate from the Document menu will always appear on the screen when Show Paragraphs is chosen from the Edit menu. However, if the hyphenated words are not at the ends of lines, the hyphens will not show when the document is printed. To view the document without the nonprinting optional hyphens, choose Hide Paragraphs from the Edit menu.
