Automatic Hyphenation Does Not Work

[Martin]

The automatic hyphenation feature of Word2003 works for native Word2003
documents and templates. However, it does not work for documents and
templates that were originally created in Word97 but later saved as Word2003.
Is there some way to fix this problem?

Hello Martin

The automatic hyphenation feature of Word2003 works for native Word2003
documents and templates. However, it does not work for documents and
templates that were originally created in Word97 but later saved as Word2003.
Is there some way to fix this problem?

most probably, the text in your Word97 files doesn't have the
correct/same language setting as in the newly created files. If this is
indeed the case, and your text is only in one language, you can select
it all (CTRL-A) and then apply the correct language. Afterwards, make
sure auto-hyphenation is set.
