You probably know that, Toxaris. See you soon.
I doubt that MS Word will "do the job." I work in MSWord all the time, and it has exactly nothing to do with hyphenation in ebooks. Most e-readers either don't hyphenate, or, ilke the Nook, hyphenate wherever it runs out of room--not at a syllable, where it should hyphenate. Putting the shy code in is fine if you have OCD and want to torture yourself, but it's not used in any major e-reader that I've seen; their own built-in dictionaries use their own hyphenation if it exists, or, like the early Kindles, no hyphenation at all.
