The trouble with the autocorrect for em dashes is that it doesn't work until you press the space bar after the word which comes after the hyphens to be corrected. I filed a bug about this years ago. It would to autocorrect as soon as you have typed two hyphens and a space. Word shows the same behaviour. I can only suppose that this is connected to the code that turns a coupel of hyphens into a line across the page in some circumstances -- two consecutive hyphens might be expanded into two different abbreviations, so the autocorrect dcode dithers. Bloody stupid, if you ask me. gaaaaah. -- Andrew Brown The email in the header does not work.
