moving a word that is too long to fit at the end of a line

When typing a document, if a word is too long to fit at the end of a line,
Word would move the whole word to the next line. Now it just moves part of
the word, even if it's only one syllable. For example: if the word "type" did
not fit, the whole word should be moved. But if only the "t" fit, it would
move "ype" to the next line ( no hyphenation ). What happend and how do I fix
it?

This can be a symptom of a damaged font, but more often it signifies a
corrupt document; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm
