Hi, I'm having a problem with hyphenation under LaTeX and wonder if
someone could help.

I'm using a number of hyphenated words like non-normalised and
log-concatenated. These occur in the captions of a large number of
figures and tables. When I generate a lof or lot I get a large number
of overfull hbox errors because it doesn't want to hypenated these
words anywhere but at the original hyphen.

I've tried things like \hyphenation{nor-mal-ised}
but of course normalised isn't the same word as non-normalised!...
and \hyphenation{non-nor-mal-ised} won't work either as it looks for
the word nonnormalised. 

I know I can go around and individually hyphenate these words but it
would be much nicer if there was a simple, one place, fix.

Thankyou in advance.
