The transfer of words is required when typing books, magazines, booklets, as well as documents of special formats. But do not manually insert a hyphen in necessary place , because when formatting text, you can spoil the entire document. AT Word editor there is a special tool for this.
When typing, do the following :
- Open the finished document.
- On top bar Select the “ Page Layout ” tab.
- Click on the menu "Hyphenation" and select one of two modes.
In automatic mode, the program itself breaks words, guided by the rules of the Russian language. It can be included even before the work on the document begins, and then it will be formatted automatically by the editor.
Manual mode prompts the user to determine the location of the breakdown. This may be necessary if in the text there are special terms, jargon and other words that the program may transfer incorrectly.
If manual placement is selected, a dialog box will appear on the screen offering options. 
Tuning and optimization
By default, the words will be transferred at the end of each line. If this feature is undesirable, you can adjust the frequency of use. To do this, we find in the “ Arrangement of hyphenation ” menu item “ Parameters ” and in the appeared window specify the necessary number, defining how many hyphenation can be arranged in a row in several lines. 
In the field “ Width of the word wrap ” you can specify the distance between the last word in the line and the right edge of the page. By increasing this parameter, you can reduce the number of hyphenation, but with a narrower interval of the end of lines in the text will become smoother.
If there are several paragraphs in which words should not be moved, you can disable this feature for a text fragment. The algorithm is as follows:
If the document contains a word with a hyphen (for example, “sci-fi”) that cannot be broken, you should insert an inseparable instead of the usual hyphen by holding the Ctrl + Shift + hyphen (-) buttons.
Deletion of hyphenation
To cancel the automatic placement, you just need to click " No " in the mode selection menu.

If the computer suddenly turned off, the next time you open Word programs the user will be prompted to open the saved copies, or delete them if there is no need for them.
The above parameters can be changed by forcing the computer to auto-save in any other folder, as well as by increasing or decreasing its frequency. I find it difficult to think of an example when it may be needed, but Word autosave can be turned off if you wish.
