If you like to use automatic hyphenation in MS Word, but you need to have one or more words ignore hyphenation and remain united,

You can disable hyphenation in an entire paragraph, by opening the Paragraph dialog, selecting the “Line and Page Breaks” tab, and checking the box for “Don’t hyphenate”, yet

To disable hyphenation for a single word, select this word and in the Review menu > Language > “Set Proofing Language” check the option “Do not check spelling or grammar.” Disabling proofing for this word disables its hyphenation.

If you use this function often, you can place the “Set Proofing Language” command in the Ribbon to open the relevant dialogue easily.

Enjoy!

Being yourself an author or student you will perhaps appreciate especially this feature, that the very structure of the book will teach you how to work. The book contains even chapters on how to prepare a document for professional publishers such as Amazon. Reading Steven Adams' Writing a book or thesis in Microsoft Word you are surprised realizing it makes you want to work -- to think, write, use Word and be creative!
