How to Convert Automatic Hyphens to Manual Hyphens using Word VBA

Submitted by Support on Sun, 04/25/2010 - 02:43

Word does automatic hyphenation at the end of line when the AutomaticHyphenation feature is turned on

ActiveDocument.AutoHyphenation = True

The following code converts all automatic hyphens to manual ones

ActiveDocument.ConvertAutoHyphens
