Thanks to Richard & Harold & others for great patience. I've now done
everything you've advised & my fingers are crossed that all is now well. One
last question. A result of installing OO3 is that I've had 2 e-mails
inviting me to install 'OpenOffice2009'. Isn't that included in 3? Should I
just ignore the e-mails? TS

Subject: Re: [users] Unwanted hyphenation
I have Vista, and can confirm that what Harold describes is correct.
Some additional information:
- Make sure that when you right click, it is not on a word that is shown
as mis-spelled; otherwise, you get a different context menu, and you won't
have "Edit Paragraph Style" as a choice.
- Once you click on "Edit Paragraph Style", click on the tab that says
"Text Flow" and see if the box under hyphenation that says "Automatically"
is checked (or ticked, depending on what term you use). If it is checked,
then click it to uncheck it. That is most likely the cause of the problem.

Top post to keep this thread sane
On Win XP Pro if you select a paragraph and *right* click you get a menu.
The 12th item is "Edit Paragraph Style". Vista may be different in this
respect; stranger things have happened ;-)

I'm so sorry: there's no such tenth choice on my system. Is the problem
perhaps that I'm on Windows Vista? Can I make it clear that what I'm
trying to do is not edit a particular paragraph, but to find the place
in OO which has suddenly started commanding automatic hyphenation
everywhere? TS

My problems opening docs with OO & with uncommanded changes of font
have somehow gone away (no more idea how than I have how they
occurred). I am also clear how to remove automatic hyphenation for a
paragraph. I have installed OO 3. Thank you very much. But I cannot
fathom Brian's instructions about disabling automatic hyphenation for
a 'paragraph style'. I cannot find 'Edit paragraph style' anywhere in
the right-click route. I want to prevent automatic hyphenation
happening ever, anywhere in my work. What am I missing, please? TS
Right click in the paragraph you wish to edit. About the tenth choice
down is "Edit Paragraph Style"
