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

Thanks Stephan! I had to try out what you said, but I think understand what
manual hyphenation does now. My testing revealed that I didn't need to check
whether you need the dash every time you make the line longer or shorter
because:

1. If you don't need the dash, the whole word will appear on the starting
line, and the grey box stays invisible.
2. If you do need the dash, the word will be broken at the point where you
hyphenated it
3. If you made the starting line so long that the piece before the invisible
manual hyphen won't fit on the starting line anymore, the manual hyphen
becomes invisible again and the whole word gets moved to the next line
instead.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I understand how manual
hyphenation works now! Honestly I thought your explanation was better than
the wiki's explanation.

By the way I tried out Ctrl + Enter, and all it did was move my cursor down
to the next page.

Finally, I think I still don't understand exactly how Tools --> Language -->
Hyphenation works, but I think I got a little closer. It just says
"hyphenation complete" when I go to it without typing anything, but if I
type something and add a manual hyphenation somewhere, that function seems
to let me choose where to put a hyphen in a word (the equal signs are places
where I can place the hyphen) even if I don't select any text. But this
option seems a bit inflexible because I can only insert hyphens at the equal
signs, and nowhere else. Am I missing something?
