Re: [libreoffice-users] hyphenation

My assumption is that Chris is looking for help on when to hyphenate compound adjectives (like 'the 
red-brown dog' but 'the big brown dog'), similar to how LO has rules about when to hyphenate words 
at the ends of lines. Hyphenation of compound adjectives involves a lot of judgment and personal 
taste. As far as I know, there's nothing about it in LO.

Chris,

I'm not sure exactly what the problem is.  I hyphenate things all the time with no problems.

If Regina's suggestion is what you need, you can also insert the non-breaking hyphen with 
Ctrl-Shift-Hyphen (much faster for me, anyway, then having to move my hand to the mouse).
