I think this is a problem with any font that Word considers to be a
"symbol" font. It wrecks havoc with my teaching documents for Greek. (I
have my "overheads" in Word, but with text set at 8 point, whichis
unreadable ont he screen. I control the flow of info and class presentation
by gradually increasing the font size from 8 to 36 point.) My workaround is
a Word macro that "converts" by text so that all interveaning spaces are
formatted for Times New Roman font instead of Greek. The lines then end
correctly and Greek words are not divided.
