*Subject:* hyphens & apostrophes
I am struggling to recustomise OOWriter for a new computer after
burglary.
Am trying (1) to enable replacement of some hyphens by em & en dashes
(used to work by hitting hyphen twice).
Trying (2) to replace apostrophe mark (small vertical mark) with an
apostrophe comma---permanently.
Have spent hours using Help to no effect. Please can someone help me?

Tom,
Good to hear from you. Are you using OO.o or LibreOffice? I have
LibreOffice, but I wind up inserting the em- and en- dashes by hand from
the menu. You can assign key strokes to enter these using a macro. And
OO.o used to replace two dashes (I insist they are "minus" signs) with
an em-dash automatically if I pressed space after the next word, but
that has stopped working.
The OO.o code basd has been donated by Oracle (who bought Sun and Open
Office .org) to the Apache foundation. I'll look for the address to
subscribe to that mailing list as this one will go away in the not too
distant future.
I hope somone here will answer Tom's question in a more useful fashion
and will find that address and post it before I do.
With warmest regard
David Teauge
