word insists on hyphenating words at end of line incorrectly

In my version of Word 365 the program insists on hyphenating "although" as "alt-hough."  I can't get it to accept "al-though," or even to forget hyphenating all together.  It does this with a few other words, too.  My proof readers think I am not paying attention to their notes.

Answer
  • Select the text you want to affect.
  • Click Review > Language > Set Proofing Language.
  • Near the bottom of the resulting dialog, check the box for "Do not check spelling or grammar".
  • Click OK.
Yes, that will affect only the selected text.

To edit the dictionary, click File > Options > Proofing. In the middle of the dialog, click the Custom Dictionaries button. Select the dictionary you want to edit, if there are two or more. Click the Edit Word List button. In the next dialog, click an incorrect word and click the Delete button, then repeat for the others.
