How to Convert Automatic Hyphens to Manual Hyphens using Word VBA

Word does automatic hyphenation at the end of line when the AutomaticHyphenation feature is turned on

ActiveDocument.AutoHyphenation = True 

For example, in the pic below, the word has hyphenated non-breaking automatically



You can test it by try selecting the Hyphen (which is not there physically)

The following code converts all automatic hyphens to manual ones

ActiveDocument.ConvertAutoHyphens

    Word crashes if I use ConvertAutohyphens in a DOCX with footnotes. Any idea? Thanks
