Are lines breaking at other places instead of at the hyphens or em dashes?
That is, are they randomly breaking in the middle of words? If so, that
would be a sign of document (or font) corruption.

Yes, Robert; I turned off "automatically hyphenate". But normally, a
hyphenated word like
third-party plaintiff
will break at the hyphen if needed. Also, the M-dash normally breaks, so
that
tortfeasor--the person responsible--will be liable
will also break at the end of the M-dash.
THESE breaks are not happening! How can I get them to break again?
Without turning on "auto hyphenate" which does not work
well for legal documents.

They act like non-breaking hyphens, but they are not!
If I delete the hyphen and then type it in again, it still won't break.
I want hyphenated words to break. How can I make
that happen?
Have you tried switching off "Automatically hyphenate the document" in
"Tools" "Language" "Hyphenation"?
HTH.
