I have Vista, and can confirm that what Harold describes is correct.
Some additional information:
- Make sure that when you right click, it is not on a word that is shown
as mis-spelled; otherwise, you get a different context menu, and you
won't have "Edit Paragraph Style" as a choice.
- Once you click on "Edit Paragraph Style", click on the tab that says
"Text Flow" and see if the box under hyphenation that says
"Automatically" is checked (or ticked, depending on what term you use).
If it is checked, then click it to uncheck it. That is most likely the
cause of the problem.

Top post to keep this thread sane
On Win XP Pro if you select a paragraph and *right* click you get a
menu. The 12th item is "Edit Paragraph Style". Vista may be different
in this respect; stranger things have happened ;-)

I'm so sorry: there's no such tenth choice on my system. Is the
problem perhaps that I'm on Windows Vista? Can I make it clear that
what I'm trying to do is not edit a particular paragraph, but to find
the place in OO which has suddenly started commanding automatic
hyphenation everywhere? TS

My problems opening docs with OO & with uncommanded changes of font
have somehow gone away (no more idea how than I have how they
occurred). I am also clear how to remove automatic hyphenation for
a paragraph. I have installed OO 3. Thank you very much. But I
cannot fathom Brian's instructions about disabling automatic
hyphenation for a 'paragraph style'. I cannot find 'Edit paragraph
style' anywhere in the right-click route. I want to prevent
automatic hyphenation happening ever, anywhere in my work. What am
I missing, please? TS
Right click in the paragraph you wish to edit. About the tenth
choice down is "Edit Paragraph Style"
