You mentioned using dashes frequently. Em and en dash substitutions occur already when you type ' -- ' or '--' respectively between two words. More specifically, you need to type (for an em-dash) the sequence '<word> -- <word><space or punctuation>'. Just typing '--' or ' -- ' within existing text won't trigger the substitution. > -I- > > > On 2/16/06, G. Roderick Singleton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On Thu, 2006-02-16 at 12:11 -0500, I.
