Thank you for both suggestions.So sorry. I did try both separately, but still did not succeed. I couldn't get either the smart quotes or the long dash. Am willing to study any document that is available online if that would help. The reason I am insisting on this is that I am preparing a document for publication and I would like it to look as "authentic" as I can.
Thanks for the help and sorry for the trouble.
