If I have selected automatic hyphenation in a Word 2007 document, and
I don't like the way it has done a single word, is there any way I can
override it and change it to something I like for that single word
without disabling the automatic function for the whole document? Or am
I stuck with having to do it manual for the whole doc?

Yes. Hyphenation is part of the proofing tools, so if you set a work to No
Proofing it will be excluded from Spelling, Grammar and Hyphenation. So just
select the word and mark it for No Proofing.

If you need to do this regularly, you can create a Character Style and apply
that by assigning a keyboard shortcut to the Style. If you need to exclude a
particular word throughout a very long document, you can use Search and
Replace.

And how do I do that? What buttons do I push? I select the word, then
go to Page Layout, then everything I can possibly do with the
Hyphenation button results in the whole document being affected,
whether or not a word is selected.

(I have Help search for "proofing", and a get a list of results none
of which mention hyphenation.)
 
Select the Word, then the Review Tab, Set Language and check the 'Do not
check spelling or grammar' option.
