I find it easier just to use Ctrl+Hyphen to insert optional hyphens where I
want them.

Ok, so I want to hyphenate only a few select words as I come across
them. I made a macro, but it's a two-step process that involves
keyboard and mouse. I'd like a single process. Right now, I
highlight the word. Then invoke the macro with my assigned shortcut.
Then I have to click "yes" to confirm the hyphen.

Is there an easier way to just highlight a word and presto, it's
hyphenated? It seems my only other option is automatic hyphenating
of the whole damn document, which I want to avoid at all costs.
