Re: [libreoffice-users] How can I make long words stay on their starting line?

First of all, I want to thank every person who replied to my topic. This is
actually my first time using mailing lists and I have to admit that I was
initially skeptical that I would get any replies at all, but I was totally
wrong!

Stephan's reply really made me reconsider what exactly I wanted Libreoffice
to do. I thought about my original post a bit more, and I realized that it
doesn't make a lot of sense to have a long word split into two pieces as if
they were two separate words. A hyphen is used in most books to indicate
that the word started at the end of the line actually continues on into the
next line. I also realized that the only reason I didn't want hyphenation
initially was because of URLs, but of course those aren't a problem anymore
because of Ron's clever workaround.

So basically, I consider my problem completely resolved now, thanks to all
the replies. I only have one final question about what Stephan wrote. I went
to the wiki page and I understood every part of your summary except the last
part on manually hyphenating single words. I tried Ctrl and -, and I got
some very small hyphen in the middle of the word where my cursor was. It
almost seemed to overlap the letters instead of forcing the letters apart a
little bit to make space for the hyphen. So what exactly is the point of
using Ctrl and - and how is it different from using just -?
