Actually, Word is still capable of making that autocorrection. They just don't turn that option on as the default anymore.
Go to the Word Options dialog and select the Proofing properties page. Click the big button for AutoCorrect Options, and the first item in the suggested replacement list box for the "Replace text as you type" feature is the 2 hyphens to en-dash replacement. -Fred Ridder To: dspre...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: How do you type a dash em in FM12 From: tom.beiswen...@emhartglass.com Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2015 12:56:04 -0500 CC: framers@lists.frameusers.com Thanks! I knew it had to be in there somewhere. By the way, Word convert 2 hyphens to an en dash either anymore.
