Four extra Qs

1. Tell me how to differentiate between the words "toward" and "towards."

2. Is the sentence I got from the post right?

To check my guesses up, I have three others sentences in such way.

3. I know the sentence below is right but I have this proclivity toward wanting to put the word "of" in the spot indicated, is it wrong to put the "of" there?

If you live in the suburbs, you live in an area of house, outside (of????) the centre of a large town.

4. I use this sign as the hyphen to join words together, "--" ,and can I use the same sign to show that the rest of a word is on the next line?

Thank you.

My key board doesn't seem to have the "hyphen" key, that's why I am using the sign "--" as a hyphen to join the words together but my dilemma is what should I use to note the same hyphen but in the case of indicating two sections are part of a single word? Help.

Also, what other words would you use for the word in bold? denote?
