How do I control space before and after hyphen in Word?

[BARTMAN1955]

I am having difficulty with hyphens in the colun of a table. I am using
hyphens between numbers. The hyphen seems to be closer to the number on the
left than the number on the right. The column is center-aligned. I have
enclosed an example. The hyphen between 15 and 6 below is acceptable, the
others are not. The hyphen is closer to the 8 than the 1 in 12, 6 than the 1
in ten and 0 in 10 than the 1 in 15

15-6
8-12
6-10
10-15

Rather than using centered text, add a decimal tab stop to the
relevant table cells.

Keep in mind that digits are fixed-width, even in proportional fonts. Thus,
if you have 9-1, the 1 takes up just as much horizontal space as 9, meaning
there is more white space around it.
