I did the frame bit and nothing happened. But when I changed the 
preferences for hyphenation I found that I did not have any language 
choices, which leads me to believe that there is a hyphen file 
missing. I have Open Office installed.  Is that the source for the 
hyphen file or should I download one elsewhere? What would be the 
file name for (American) English?

Thanks as always for your guidance.
