There is a bug. When you edit the text, hyphenation goes away. You have to
re-hyphenate. There might be another one (yet, related). Once you apply a
style, dpes hyphenation go away as well? The workaround should then be to
re-hyphenate. If this is correct, then this is a bug and it should be filed
as such.

Sorry I cannot test at present time. I can only go as IIRC. There is a way
to have a styled text hyphenated. You cannot put hyphenation as part of the
stylesheet instructions yet. But you can apply the stylesheet, then
hyphenate. The annoying part of this is when you edit the text further down,
you lose hyphenation. But you can re-apply it.

I hope this helps,

Louis
