You don't know _what_ you're talking about. Did you never manage to
find the button that turns on hyphenation -- which you should never do
until you've finished writing your text and now need to shape it for
the publisher? (In the unfortunate event that you're preparing camera-
ready copy.)

That's just a few keystrokes in  an editor, and requires no need to take
your hand off the keyboard to reach the mouse!

If you've never discovered Word's keyboard shortcuts, you've been
misusing the program.
