automatic hyphenation
     
         A feature of some {word processors} which can insert
        {hyphens} into words which would otherwise extend beyond the
        right hand margin of the page.
     
        More advanced word processors may have options to control the
        position of the hyphen, to restrict certain words from being
        hyphenated, and to allow custom dictionaries of hyphenation
        points to be built up.
