I think you're right, though soft hyphenation does work (manually
inserting possible hyphenation points using control "-", but see Bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=134649 first).

For completeness, what language are you configured to use?  As
hyphenation is language-dependent.  Go to Tools > Options > Language
Settings > Language.

Also make sure the hyphenation module is enabled, go to Tools >
Options > Language Settings > Writing Aids.  Under the Available
Language Modules section, make sure that the ALTLinux LibHnj
Hyphenator is checked (if not hit the Edit... button).


But even I, using English(USA) locale, can not seem to get automatic
hyphenation to work either.
