I am sure this is possible but I've never needed to try something like
this myself.  Try looking Latex package index at your nearest CTAN site
(there is one at mirror.aarnet.edu.au).  The index is very well done
and contains descriptions of the packages.  I've found it very helpful
in the past.

OK this is an easier question.  Usually the way to get around this is
to force a line break  (\\) before the hyphenated word. 

hope this helps
