What you need is called a 'non-breaking hyphen' - go to Insert>Symbol, click
the Special Characters tab & you'll find it listed there along with its
keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+_). If you have many of these to change you can use
Find & Replace - In that dialog type a - in the Find what: field then click
in the Replace with : field but don't type anything. Instead click the More
button (if necessary), then click the Special button & select Nonbreaking
Hyphen. Replace one at a time unless you are *absolutely* sure that there
are no hyphens that shouldn't be replaced.
