You could also try going to autocorrect options and turning on
the feature that replaces minus signs with dashes. It's moderately
intelligent,
in that it will only autocorrect if there is a space on either side,
though of course it's not up to the clever typesetting stuff in LyX/LaTeX.
I suppose another alternative would be to manuaaly spellcheck a document
containing minus signs (they're not real dashes or hyphens) and
enter them into the personal dictionary, but I haven't tried this (I
only use OO Writer for reading Word documnets or converting to HTML when
wv doesn't work - for my own writing I still prefer LyX.
