The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: The user can add hyphenated words to the Supplemental Dictionary.
1.      Retrieve the Supplemental Dictionary.
2.      Move to the place in the word(s) where you want it hyphenated, and press Ctrl-Hyphen.
3.      Resave the Supplemental Dictionary file.

Another option for customers that want to spell-check hyphenated words is to do the following:
1.      Type the document with regular hyphens.
2.      Just before spell-checking, perform a search and replace, and replace the regular hyphens with control-hyphens. (At this point no hyphens would show between the words, except in cases where the word falls at the end of a line).
3.      Run the spell-check and add any word, it will be added as a whole word, with NO hyphens, into the supplemental dictionary. When running the spell-check the Ctrl-Hyphens in the document will be ignored by the speller and it will see the words in one piece.
4.      After spell-checking, the customer can search and replace the control-hyphens with regular hyphens, so they will show on screen and also print.
