How do you do manual hyphenation? My attempts have haven't been very
successful. Inserting a hard hyphen usually doesn't produce a line
break, even when the following line is very open. The smart hyphen
doesn't seem to do anything at all (I guess I'm misunderstanding its
purpose).
Another question - is it possible to anchor a graphics frame to the
text, so it moves up and down with the text? Currently the only way of
inserting an equation is via a graphics frame, but these have to be move
manually when the text reflows. (Roll on the LaTeX interpreter!)
Alternatively, is it possible to insert graphics inline, like a glyph?
