Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 56858
In hyphenation dialog manual optional hyphenation should be possible anywhere in the word, not just where OOo suggests

Feature request: At the moment you can only hyphenate a word where OOo suggests. My request: Make it possible to manually enter a conditional hyphen in the hyphenation dialog, anywhere in the word. Judging from my (limited) programming knowledge, this should be fairly easy to implement, since it only affects the hyphenation dialog. Thank you!

That is already possible, use Insert > Formatting Mark > Optional Hyphen or Ctrl+-. You need no hyphenation dialog.
I DO need the hyphenation dialog, when I want to hyphenate an entire document. Or are you serious in telling me to hyphenate some 500 pages manually line by line? ;-) Here's my request again: Make it possible to manually enter a conditional hyphen in the hyphenation dialog, anywhere in the word. This is not possible now, since it would require you to close the hyphenation dialog and enter the conditional hyphen manually, then restart the hyphenation dialog to continue. Reopening the issue.
