Not when you are writing by hand.
When typing you can divide long words at convenient places, such as were syllables meet. So that the word transparent could be divided trans-parent or transpar-ent, but not transp-arent.
You can usually set hyphenation in most word processing applications.

∙ 15y agoGenerally, one uses a hyphen in order to divide a word at the end of a written line. However, it is also acceptable to just write the whole word on the next line rather than divide it at all.
However, there are few important rules to note when using a hyphen.
1.) You can only divide a word between syllables.

alli-
gator
Incorrect:

ator
2.) You cannot leave a single letter all by itself on the upper line.
Correct:
even-
tually
Incorrect:

ventually
3.) You cannot have two or fewer letters by themselves on the lower line.
Correct:
tor-
nado
Incorrect:

4.) If the word is a compound word, one that already has a hyphen in it, then the break must occur at that hyphen, or you should just write the whole word on the next line.

short-
distance

short-dis-

What is a non-breaking hyphen in MS 2010?
A non-breaking hyphen will keep the words together on the same line, and will not split them if one word doesn't have room to fit on the end of a line, but another does. The whole combination will be brought onto a new line. This ensures they will never be split. For some combinations of words that have hyphens, it is proper to always keep them on one line.
