My LaTeX Companion book arrived today (hurrah) and looks to be useful.
In it, for example, I found an answer to the (correct) question above:
In Preamble: \usepackage{amsmath}
Command: \nobreakdash (goes in an ERT)
Examples:
"Pages 3\nobreakdash--9 are to be read."
"He's a five\nobreakdash-time winner!"
This is so simple that perhaps it could be added to the Special
Characters menu?
Insert -> Special Character -> Non-Breaking Dash -> Hyphen, En-Dash,
Em--Dash (in drop-down)
Or...
Insert -> Special Character -> Dash Protector (insert before dash)
Bye,
Kevin
