automatic hyphenation

I am using Word 2002 in XP.

Every time I open a certain very large Word document I received from someone
else who revised some of its content and formatting, my Word pops up with an
error message saying it cannot hyphenate this document and do I want to
install that function. I am not sure if this is because:

a) the person who created the document had hyphenation installed on his
version of Word
b) or it is a setting on my own Word.

Because this document is for publication, what I really want is for my Word
to open the document _exactly_ as the author created it. I am not sure if
that means I should install hyphenation on my Word or change some setting so
Word does not repaginate the long document when it opens it on my PC. How
do I go about that?

(The person who sent the document to me does not know if he has hyphenation
installed or not).

A related problem on this very long document. To ensure exact placement of
numerous images on its pages extensive use of frames in which the images
were placed was used. With the many text revisions that this document has
undertaken the document now exhibits a nasty habit of changing and
rechanging some of the pages when the Index is created. I assume this is
because of its different repaginations it undergoes when Word opens it but
do not know if that is because of the hyphenation error it gives me or
because the many frames are confusing it. If it is the frames how do I find
out which frames are the problem ones? This is a 500 page document.

Thank you.

Jeff

Make sure that the correct language is applied to text. Look at the status
bar to see the text applied at the insertion point.

Obviously I meant to write, "Look at the status bar to see the *language*
applied at the insertion point."

The language at the insertion point for hyphenation (there are 2 of them
where the popup appears) are in both cases English (US).

Do you think the frames - having been forced to move by subsequent text
revisions - might be the case for the repaginations?

Then I'd suggest that you install the appropriate proofing tools on your
machine.
