Both Harold and I gave you advice on finding the "Edit paragraph style"
selection. Without knowing a little more, it's tough to say why you
can't find this.
Let's try this -- when you right click on a word (making sure it is not
a word flagged as being misspelled), what menu choices do you see? When
I do it, the first 3 menu choices are "Default formatting", "Font", and
"Size". Is that what you see? If not, then what do you see? If you see
these as the first 3 menu choices, if you keep moving down the list, do
you see "Edit paragraph style"
as a selection?
If not, how many menu items do you have when you right click on a word
in a paragraph?
Although it might not make perfect sense to you if you don't have a good
concept of styles, Brian's advice is correct -- if you're getting
hyphenation happening automatically in all paragraphs, that sounds like
a paragraph style issue.
Get back to us and let us know what happens when you try the above.

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

Another try! Is this the right variant of the OO address to get help?
Yup.
My system has suddenly started hyphenating words at the ends of
lines & I cannot find the way to stop it. Can anyone explain the
problem simply?
Automatic hyphenation is a paragraph property as well as a paragraph
style property. You may (unwittingly) have selected automatic
hyphenation for the paragraph style that you are using.
Alternatively, you may just have selected this property for a single
paragraph. Note that, in this case, if you press Enter to start a
new paragraph, this will inherit the properties of the previous
paragraph; in this way, you may have created a number of consecutive
paragraphs separately formatted for automatic hyphenation.
o To disable automatic hyphenation for a paragraph or paragraphs, go
to Format | Paragraph... | Text Flow | Hyphenation (or right-click |
Paragraph... | Text Flow | Hyphenation) and remove the tick from
Automatically.
o To disable automatic hyphenation for a paragraph style, go to
right-click | Edit Paragraph Style... | Text Flow | Hyphenation and
remove the tick from Automatically.
You may need to try both these techniques, depending on exactly which
unwanted setting has become ticked.
I trust this helps.
