Word hyphenation feature is not available
When opening a Document in Word 2016, I always get the following error message
Word hyphenation feature is not available. Run the Microsoft Office Setup program, install this feature an then try again
But there is no such option to add the feature in the Office 2016 Setup?
How can I add this feature to Word in Office 2016?
Solution 1:
- Open Word Document
- You will received the error message popup --> for this last time click on OK
- Click on Page Layout
- Under Page Setup --> Click on Hyphenation
- Click on Hyphenation Options --> popup menu appears
- Uncheck the checkbox for 'Automatically hyphenate document'
- Uncheck the checkbox for 'Hyphenate words in CAPS'
- Click on OK button
- Save the word doc
- Close it
- Open the Word Doc again, the error message won't popup.
DONE!
Solution 2:
I just had this issue and it was due to not having the proofing tools installed for a language used in the document.
For Office 2016 on Windows 10, installing the language from the system settings did not install the proofing tools, but the following worked:
- Go to https://support.office.com/en-us/article/language-accessory-pack-for-office-82ee1236-0f9a-45ee-9c72-05b026ee809f
- Select the language for the proofing tools you need in the drop-down.
- Download and install the language pack
