Word break, how to fix?

Hi, I am using Word 2002 on an XP computer.
I find a problem:
When you type a word such English. If the word is at the end of a line, it
will be break into 2 parts such as "En
glish"
I don't know how to fix this problem. Anyone can help?
Thanks!

George,

I would have said Tools>Language>Hyphenation and uncheck
automatically hyphenate document, but I can't force the
hyphenation en-
glish so maybe it is something else.

I tried your method, but it is not working as you said, it is something
else. I guess this could be because my computer using Chinese, Korea
characters as well. the word treat the word as Chinese.
However, such thing as mixture with Chinese and English, never caused any
problem on win2000.

The usual cause is (a) a damaged font or (b) a damaged document. If Word
begins to see the font as "decorative" (that is, a symbol or dingbat font),
then it thinks it can be broken anywhere. I think your analysis that setting
the text to an Asian language might be involved is also likely. What happens
if you set the language of the relevant text to English (select the text,
then Tools | Language | Set Language)?

As a workaround:

You can create a hard space when a word doesn't wrap.

Ctrl+Shift+Space

Now it is working fine, but I don't how and when it was fixed. I guess this
is because I changed the default language.
Thank you all, anywhere.
