Roger, do you have many instances where a hyphen *is* intended? If not, you could brute-force replace all then go back and tune those you didn't want replaced (e.g., if they're, say, part numbers in a handful of tables).
Alternately, export to MIF and use any programmer's text editor (e.g., Notepad++) to do a regular _expression_ search and replace, similar to your Word example. Then open MIF and re-save as FM.
HTH;

Hello All
I'm using FrameMaker 11.
I have a document containing a lot of number ranges that use a hyphen
instead of an en-dash; for example, 1-3. I'd like to replace the hyphen
while preserving the preceding and following numbers.
In Word I'd use a wildcard search for ([0-9])-([0-9]) and replace with
\1-\2, where \1 and \2 represent the values in the parentheses (and
sorry, I can't type an en-dash in this message). When I try this with FM
it doesn't find anything.
How do you preserve the values in FM?
Thanks.
Roger Shuttleworth
