I looked up some of the Hyphenation info and it seems that they are
based upon Tex formating or Oxford English formatting/spelling. As for
why it does not look to see if there are hyphens already, blame the Tex
code conversion. That is where it seems OOo got its Hyphen information
from. The dictionary files for Hyphenation are very complex and code
ridden so unless you can read the info [they give a URL for more info]
you are told not to modify it. That could cause big problems with your
system or if not yours, other OSs then.
I worked on a typewriter version of spellchecker, so I know about
substitution codes and with some documentation figure out spelling
files, but Hyphen ones seem to be too complex for what I use to know how
to do. Also en-English and both Great Britain and Oxford English seems
to have different hyphen arrangements for the breaks, or so I gleamed
from the little I read.
So I really wonder about hyphens. I rarely use them since I use
full-justification instead of using hyphened text to make thing look
more justified on both margins. I have not tried to use both. I may
have hyphenation turned off as well..

Hi :)
There is some official documentation available from
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation
or
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/
(same publications although the wiki sometimes has things a day or few before
they appear on the proper official site)
Just out of curiosity which forums were you using? The OpenOffice ones? TDF
doesn't have any official forums but there are a few unofficial ones and the
OOo ones should also be good. Where-ever you ask questions it's a question of
luck as to how good and quick the answers are. Sometimes it's impossible to
even tell if your question has been received by anyone or just vanished into
the ether. I would usually (on almost any project) post a new thread or a new
comment in the same thread if no replies had happened after a couple of days.

Hi
I'm using LO with automatic hyphenation. Most of times
it is pretty great, but
sometimes it fails miserably. Especially for words
that have hyphen in them.
Eg. surname "Kozyr-Kowalski" may be brake as:
........................Kozy-
r-Kowalski.................
It is unacceptable for me.
Is there a way to tell LO Writer to brake words only
in specific place? Or to
prevent hyphenation for some words (I will hyphen them
manually, if I have
to)?
If it matters, I am using LibreOffice from Debian
testing repository; version
3.4.3 on amd64.
Thanks in advance.
PS. I have asked that question on LibreOffice Forum,
but after week of no reply,
I am posting it here as well.
Have you had a look in the Text_Flow tab of Paragraph
Style
(Menu/Format/Paragraph or F11).
There are several options obout hyphenation.
