Dear Twayne: You may have seen my message to Jim. I can't make the auto-correct method work, although I've done exactly what you say. I've tried Help, but it is no help. I can't even find a ln-dash in Special Characters, to insert it the long way. TS

It's a bit more complicated.

  word--word[space]

will become

  word[em-dash]word[space]

and

  word[space]--[space]word[space]

will become

  word[space][en-dash][space]word[space]

If this is not satisfactory, the smartest thing to do, probably, is to use Tools->Macros->Record Macro to make a simple macro that uses Insert->Special Character to insert an en-dash, and then use Tools- >Customize->Keyboard to set some key combination to execute that macro.
