Thanks, Mirosław. I downloaded LibreOffice into a Windows installation I had running under Oracle's VirtualBox and, sure enough, the output pdf contained the hyphens under all conditions. This seems like really strange behavior; I'd be very curious to know what coding error could cause such a limited and precise symptom. For the moment, however, this solves my problem. Is there a way I can find out when (or in what release) that will be corrected, as it is important to me. Again, thanks for the quick response.
