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

Problem

Symptoms: If a word is hyphenated by WordPerfect and a hard page break [HPg] is placed after the soft hyphen, the hyphen appears in Reveal Codes but not on the main editing screen, and the hyphen does not print. Solutions: Placing a Hard Page code at the end of a line that wraps is a bad practice, and is never needed. In order to force a page break after a line which ends with a hyphenated word, a Conditional End of Page code with a value for Lines to Keep Together high enough to force WordPerfect to insert a soft page at the end of the line, should be used. This is by far the better solution. After all, this is what the Conditional End of Page code is for, to tell WP that when a line of text gets to close to the bottom of the page that it or following lines should be moved to the next page. The user then does not need to worry about deleting the [HPg] if the hyphenated word later went away from the end of the line.
