The conversion seems to happen most predictably when you are typing, type the '--', then the following space, something like what happens when you type '1/2' and then a space, where you see conversion to the 1/2 glyph. If you already have '-', type some more, then go back and add another '-', then the conversion doesn't seem to work. Greg
