Writer has the Menu Item Insert/Special Character. This will bring up a dialog with drop-down lists to allow you to select the font and the subset area of that font to display. For example to insert the euro sign you would select the font you want, then in the subset drop-down you would select currency symbols. In the display box select the euro symbol then click OK and the euro symbol will be inserted at the current cursor position in your document. For an em dash Writer should automatically change two consecutive dashes with an em dash. Regards Keith
