Because if it's attached to another word then it's a hyphen and stays small. If it's a - on it's own then it's an N dash and word changes it to one, and if it's -- then it's an M dash and word changes it to a bigger one.

I think.

So basically, make sure it's not touching another word- like that, if you want them to be the same size.
