Non-breaking hyphen coming from Word, not recognized?

[Pedrober]

I would be very grateful if someone could confirm that non-breaking hyphens coming in a DOCX Word file are ignored when APub imports the file. According to my tests, they simply disappeared.

I don't have Word, but I tried this with LibreOffice.

The non-breaking hyphen was not, exactly, ignored. It's true that it did not transfer into the .afpub file. But all my text in LibreOffice was in Times New Roman, and in Publisher all the text after the non-breaking hyphen switched to Lucida Sans. Very odd.

Walt,

Please use this very brief file created in Word.

It is very strange why the font is being replaced when the text is pasted into Publisher, I have logged this with our developer's to investigate further.

Looks like LibreOffice XML soup. This is from the docx file.
Look about 3/4 of the way down and you will see the font change.

As you said - very odd.

Thanks. Looks like that was a LibreOffice glitch, not a Publisher glitch.

@DWright: Sorry for confusing the issue with an apparent LibreOffice problem. The test file provided above by @Pedrober demonstrates the Publisher issue, without the confusion.

Edit: Also, I've been using Place, not Paste.

What happens going the other way, Non-Breaking hyphens made in Publisher and then copy paste into Word?

A non-breaking hyphen character is not actually there.
There is an XML element like this: <w:noBreakHyphen/>
(same in the LO docx file)

So to import that APub would need to recognize that code and change it to an actual character.

Quite odd.

When pasting from this docx file the font is not being passed through which is why I logged it for further investigation
