In Word, it's an "autocorrect as you type" option, and it still exists. Except that two hypens is autocorrected to an *en*-dash, not an em-dash.
In FrameMaker, I find the easiest approach is to use the Windows keyboard shortcut for extended characters. You hold down the Alt key and then type a 4-digit code on the *numeric* keypad (with NumLock on, of course). For an en-dash, it's Alt+0150 For an em-dash, it's Alt+0151 This works in all standard Windows apps. Otherwise, you can go ahead and type two hyphens and then later do a global find & replace. Or you could define a custom keyboard shortcut if you really want to. -Fred Ridder To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: How do you type a dash em in FM12 From: tom.beiswen...@emhartglass.com Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2015 12:09:24 -0500 In earlier versions of Word, when you typed 2 hyphens (--) it would automatically convert to a dash em. Is there any way to do the same or similar in FM12? Tom Beiswenger Manager, Technical & Training Documentation, Project Manager - Inspection Business Emhart Glass Mfg.
