WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: If WordPerfect does not use the speller file during hyphenation with your Language Module, you must use the Hyphenation Utility to maintain the hyphenation file(s). The name of the Hyphenation Utility is the language code followed by HYPHEN.EXE (e.g., FRHYPHEN.EXE).

To start the Language Module Hyphenation Utility, enter the complete name of the Language Module Hyphenation Utility (minus the .EXE extension) at the DOS prompt.

The Hyphenation Utility is installed with the Language Module files and is used to create and edit the Hyphenation exception dictionary (WP{WP}XX.HYD). The options it provides are described below:

Exit: Enables you to exit from the Hyphenation Utility.

Change Exception Dictionary: Allows you to create or edit an exception dictionary other than the one whose name is displayed on the screen.

Add Words to Exception Dictionary: Enables you to add individual words or a WP 5.1 file of words to the exception dictionary. If you add words as a file, separate each word in the file with a hard return. When adding words, mark hyphenation positions with dashes or numbers (1, 2, or 3; e.g., inter3na2tional). The greater the number, the higher the hyphenation priority (dashes have the same priority as a 3). When WP hyphenates a word, the highest priority hyphen within the hyphenation zone is used as the hyphen position.

Delete Words from Exception Dictionary: Enables you to delete individual words or a WP 5.1 file of words from the exception dictionary. If you delete words as a file, separate each word in the file with a hard return.

Optimize Exception Dictionary: Makes the exception dictionary the smallest and most compact size possible. Use this option after adding words to or deleting words from the exception dictionary.

The Hyphenation Utility will ask you if you wish to save additional space by deleting words from the exception dictionary which are hyphenated in an identical manner to words in the hyphenation file(s) provided with the Language Module. Respond with a Yes to continue the optimization.

Hyphenate Words: Allows you to view hyphen positions in an individual word or in a WP 5.1 file of words. If you enter words as a file, you must also enter an output filename. Words in the file entered are hyphenated and written to the output file.

Look Up (hyphen=hyphen): Displays all the words in the exception dictionary that match a particular word pattern and marks hyphen positions with a number representing the priority of that hyphenation point. For more information about word patterns, see Search Patterns under Find in the WordPerfect Reference Manual.
