this is how I do it

you might want to use the hard hyphen command --
{@KEYDOWN Ctrl+Shift}-{@KEYUP Ctrl+Shift}
here is how I have it
{@KEYDOWN Ctrl+Shift}-{@KEYUP Ctrl+Shift}year{@KEYDOWN Ctrl+Shift}-{@KEYUP Ctrl+Shift}old
the name of my shortcut is -yo
so when I am transcribing I type -- 28-yo which expands out to 28-year-old and with the hard hypens, it will not wrap between any of it, but would/will carry the entire phrase to the next line.
Now for abbreviations like cm and mm, I use the hard space --
{@KEY BkSp}{@KEYDOWN Ctrl+Shift} {@KEYUP Ctrl+Shift}mm
that way, when I type 8 mm it will backspace out the soft space and insert the hard space, so that it will not wrap between the number and teh abbreviation if at the end of a line.
Just substiture the mm for cm or whatever in the above expansion.
Hope this helps. Email me if I have confused you.
