Oops! Just realized a mistake in my post above. To clarify: If you place a Word file with NonBreaking Hyphens as a .doc file, they DO come through as Nonbreaking Hypens (not normal hyphens). They don’t LOOK any different – you can’t see a code character for them. But if you search for them with Find/Change, you can find them.

So, the problem only shows up if you place the .docx file. Editors can still use them in Word, but should save the file as a .doc file so you don’t lose them.
