After all this discussion along with the page break discussion, I wonder
if I will ever actually validate a book, sounds like a massive project
even for the smallest of titles and I normally prefer reading long
books.
Oh, well, I once thought I could do some good here.

My Replace menu, under More and then Special, gives an
option of replacing Non-breaking hyphen or Optional
Hyphen. I haven't used it because I don't know that
the difference is. I have put a hyphen in the Replace
space but then I had to put the hyphens back in places
where they belonged -- there weren't many, though.
