HyphenationZone Property

Microsoft Word Visual Basic

HyphenationZone Property

       

Returns or sets the width of the hyphenation zone, in points. The hyphenation zone is the maximum amount of space that Microsoft Word leaves between the end of the last word in a line and the right margin. Read/write Long.

Example

This example enables automatic hyphenation for MyReport.doc. The hyphenation zone is set to 36 points (0.5 inch).

With Documents("MyReport.doc")
    .AutoHyphenation = True
    .HyphenationZone = 36
End With

This example sets the hyphenation zone to 0.25 inch (18 points) and then starts manual hyphenation of the active document.

With ActiveDocument
    .HyphenationZone = InchesToPoints(0.25)
    .ManualHyphenation
End With
