WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When the customer has Hyphenation turned on in a document, why is it often necessary to re-hyphenate words when that document is retrieved again? Solutions: If Fast Save is set to Yes as the default, the document that WordPerfect saves to disk may not be completely formatted. Later, when the user retrieves the file, WP will do a complete format of the document. If during the reformatting process, WP encounters a word which straddles the hyphenation zone and if no soft hyphen or hyphen character is found in the part of the word in the hyphenation zone, WP will try to insert a hyphen if hyphenation is On. If WP cannot find a legitimate location to insert a hyphen in the part of the word which falls in the hyphenation zone, and if the user has Prompt For Hyphenation set to When Required, the user will be prompted for hyphenation, even if there is a soft hyphen in a part of the word which is outside the hyphenation zone.
