Greg, you say,
?The only other thing is that in the version of Word I use, it will auto replace '--' with en-dash as I type.? Which version do you use? I have Windows XP Pro and Word. As a mater of fact some times my version has converted to a long dash, but I don?t know what I did for that to happen. Any suggestions.

I think you can also use Search and Replace if you have a number of these, by replacing '--' with en-dash. The trick would be to paste the glyph into the dialog. The only other thing is that in the version of Word I use, it will auto replace '--' with en-dash as I type.

Each paragraph style can have its own tabs.

First, save an en-dash to the clipboard - select it, then Ctrl-C. Now, in Edit Contents mode (or I suppose also in Story Editor), Edit > Search/Replace. In the Search for: tab, check Text, fill in -- In the Replace with: tab, check Text, then Ctrl-V to put your en-dash in the text box. Now, click Search, and then either Replace one by one, or Replace All.

There was a time that would have been fine in the Microsoft environment, but it would never have been right under any Unix/Linux version. I'm not even sure it would be correct for OSX, because I've never worked with it. If that's the current way of constructing file names, it probably needs rethinking. ------------------------------ Message: 11 Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2012 22:06:12 +0200 From: Craig Bradney <[email protected]> To: scribus at lists.scribus.net Subject: Re: [scribus] [scribus 1.4.0] a point at filename parse error Message-ID: <4F907034.9000505 at scribus.info> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On 4/19/12 9:59 PM, Joe Zeff wrote: > On 04/19/2012 12:37 PM, Craig Bradney wrote: >> We probably count to the first . then add .sla or .pdf.. > > There was a time that would have been fine in the Microsoft environment, but it would never have > been right under any Unix/Linux version.
