Hi Daniel,
With the \usepackage[british]{babel} command, you can use the
British hyphenation (supposing British hyphenation patterns are
compiled into LaTeX, if not, configure your LaTeX system, for
example, run textconfig in the TeTeX distribution).
"guardian" is hyphenated by TeX with British English
hyphenation patterns (ukhyphen.tex):
$ grep guard.*i.*an en_GB.log
[] \T1/cmr/m/n/10 guard-ian
[] \T1/cmr/m/n/10 guard-i-an-ship
There is a traditional TeX limit for the lenghts of the left and the
right hyphenated part of the words
(http://www.dillgroup.ucsf.edu/latex/texfaq_14.html).
Using the
\lefthypenmin=1
\righthyphenmin=1
commands in the TeX file we can get the OOo's hyphenation:
$ grep guard.*i.*an en_GB.log
[] \T1/cmr/m/n/10 guard-i-an
[] \T1/cmr/m/n/10 guard-i-an-ship
Regards,
Laci
