Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Writer won't let me manually hyphenate a name.

Here is a what I saw.

 * I enter the word bruinsma
 * place cursor between 'n' & 's'
 * CTRL + '-'

nothing happens. However if I add text which pushes that word to 
straddle 2 lines, a hyphen appears between 'n' & 's' and stays in the 
word for the foreseeable.

Is this what you are attempting? To hyphenate when a word crosses the 
line boundary?

4.4.1.2 from the LO website and Fedora 21 BTW

Cheers
