TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Additionally, at a previous employer I was dinged for having too many
errors in my draft-for-review document.
Apparently, 50% of my "reviewers" had run the PDF I sent through a
spell check and the spell check caught the hyphens used at line
breaks, so they flagged all of those as spelling errors and reported
me to my boss who was unhappy with me as a result. (The instructions
for the reviewers included no such directions.)
So, if you have such a corporate structure, avoid using hyphens to
break words across lines.
