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.
I bet one could generate of list of frequent hypenated cases and add
them to LB's auto-correct function.
Would that work at all?
One could make up one's own list but I bet one can find such lying
around online.

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).

Hi.
I likely know the answer to this. I'm looking for verification or a
better answer.
The only hyphenation ability in LO Write I'm seeing is for word
splitting and end of a line.
What I'd really like is help with compound adjectives. Does anything
like that exist in LO Writer?
