  • Article

Syntax

expression A variable that represents a Document object.

Remarks

End With

This example sets the hyphenation zone to 0.25 inch (18 points) and then starts manual hyphenation of the active document.

With ActiveDocument 
 .HyphenationZone = InchesToPoints(0.25) 
 .ManualHyphenation 
End With
