Works: Hyphenation Tool Doesn't Work Correctly with APO in Header (142416)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Works 3.0
  • Microsoft Works 3.0a
  • Microsoft Works 3.0b

This article was previously published under Q142416

SYMPTOMS

If you have an absolute positioned object (APO) in the header of your document, the hyphenation tool will not function properly. The tool will allow you to check the document, but then produces the following message:
Hyphenation is complete.

Works has inserted hyphens in your document where appropriate. If your pagination changes, Works will automatically remove the unnecessary hyphens.
However, no hyphens appear in your document.

WORKAROUND

Move the APO out of the header. If the APO is not in the header, text on the same line(s) as the APO will not hyphenate correctly; text below the header will hyphenate normally.

-or-

Change the object to In-Line by doing the following:
  1. Click once on the object to select it.
  2. Click Picture/Object on the Format menu.
  3. Select In-Line text wrap on the Text Wrap tab, and then click OK.
NOTE: After moving the APO out of the header or changing it to an In-Line object, perform the hyphenation. Then you can either move the object back into the header or change it back to an APO.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works version 3.0 for Windows. This problem was corrected in Works versions 4.0 and later.
