word wrapping and hyphens

When I use the Ctrl-Shift-J Reformat command, it will often break hyphenated words across lines. However, for LaTeX files, this is a bad thing, because it will then insert a space between the hyphen and the second word in the final typeset text. Is there any way to disable the consideration of a hyphen when breaking long lines apart?
Thanks

Anyone? Please? :-) It's beginning to drive me nuts that TextPad is is breaking apart hyphenated words.

Have you tried Configure>Preferences>Document Classes>~ Save with no breaks in lines?

I just tried this out in and it seemed to do what you need...rather it didn't do what you don't want.

I actually have that feature on already. Unfortunately, that doesn't do it for me. I _need_ to be able to break paragraphs across lines---not everyone that I collaborate with uses the fabulous TextPad editor, and they expect paragraphs to be broken apart.

Besides, the problem occurs when I use the Ctrl-Shift-J Reformat command, which is a manual reformatting command.

The bottom line is what I need to do is tell TextPad not to consider a hyphen a legal place to break a line up.
