It's there. But a) it must be switched on, and b) it still asks when there is 
no 'valid' hyphenatin point.
You didn't say whether it is WP6dos or WP6win ... So ...
WP6 for DOS:
1.  Shift-F1, 3, 6 ... switches the 'asking' between 'never',
    'if necessary' and 'always'.
2.  Shift-F8, 1, 7 ... enables hyphenation and adjusts the range
    inside and outside the right margin where the hyphenation point
    _MUST_ be placed. This includes the effects of word and letter
    spacing in 3. If a valid hyphenation point can be found auto-
    matically it will be used.
3.  Shift-F8, 7, 9, 1 and 6 ... influence the spacing between letters
    and between words.
WP6 Windows: follow the menu items:
6.0: File | Preferences | WP settings | Edit ... See 1. above.
6.1: Edit | Preferences etc. (Yes, WP6.1win differs from 6.0)
Layout | Line | Hyphenation ... See 2. above.
Layout | Typography | Word/Letterspacing ... See 3. above
I hope the translations are correct -- I use the Dutch versions of WP.
