Wrong word wrap in documents occurs due to the fact that the syllables were manually separated. In such cases, at the slightest editing of the text, the changes made may "move out". Therefore, it is recommended to set automatic word hyphenation in the document.

installed Word from Microsoft Office
Instructions
Step 1
As a rule, by default, Word does not hyphenate words. This is due to the fact that in many documents - business letters, legal and official papers - words are not hyphenated. They are positioned in the document according to the selected formatting style - center, left, right, and wide. For this, the program has special options. However, in a number of industries, such as science, medicine, technology, very long terms and concepts are often found. When typing, they are shifted to the next line, but sometimes, under certain circumstances, word wrapping is simply necessary. But remember: you need to be smart about editing text and putting down hyphens in words. Otherwise, at the very first changes, the text will turn into something incomprehensible.
Step 2
Please note that you do not need to select anything before organizing transfers. If you set certain parameters, then they will be applied to the entire document, and not to the selection. To carry out transfers, on the toolbar find the item "Service" and in the drop-down window find the section "Language". Click on this button and select the "Hyphenation" option.
Step 3
Check the box next to the item you need in the window that opens. Several configuration options are presented here. Choose one of the methods - "Automatic hyphenation" or "Hyphenation of words from uppercase letters". In this case, you can set the width of the hyphenation zone and the maximum number of consecutive hyphens.
Step 4
The program also has a forced placement option. To split a phrase into syllables, click on the desired word and select "Force". In the window that opens, in the line, specify the places where you want to place hyphens, put a hyphen and press Shift + Enter. And do this as many times as you need syllables. But don't overuse manual breakdown. Otherwise, when you make changes, the text may simply "leave" for you.
Step 5
If the text does not transfer on the “machine”, select the fragment you need to edit, select the “Tools” menu and the “Language” section. Then go to the "Select language" option. In the "Mark selected text as" window, specify Russian. Also here you need to put a checkmark in front of the line "Detect language automatically".
Step 6
If you still cannot transfer the text, choose the Format command and the Paragraph section. Then, in the "Position on the page" tab, disable auto-hyphenation of words.
Step 7
To separate hyphenated words, apply soft hyphenation, for it you need the Ctrl keys and the "-" sign.
