Note: It will not appear to insert if there's no room on the line for that first section of the word, or if that word's not near the end of the line with current formatting! But it will remain there in that spot for possible use when needed, as can be seen using the right and left arrow keys to move through the text.

I've revamped what you said to make it easier to read and up-to-date for later OSes. But his answer (though hard to parse) works well! It needs to be set up before use, but only once, and from then on, soft hyphens can be used quite easily in (almost) any application.
