I don't think it's necessary to have an explanation of the
typographic use of em and en dashes in OOo user documentation,
but what is needed (if it's not already there, and it certainly
is not in the Help) is a description of the other ways one can
insert these dashes in addition to using AutoCorrect, e.g. by
using an ALT+numeral keystroke combination or by choosing from
the Special Characters dialog (and telling people what the code
is for the dashes).

Both en-dash and em-dash are used for normal dash usage, depending on
preference. There is a tendency today to either use en-dash surrounded
by spaces or em-dash with no spaces around it.
