The easiest way to work with any character you want to test is to find it in a
book and copy it to a clipboard and paste it into your test document.

How do you type an m dash though? Anyway, I think it would be simpler to just
ask someone who can see about what is being eliminated. That still does not
tell me how to stop it though. I think I may experiment with some contrast
settings though. Right now I am scanning one of those very old mass market
paperbacks that I mentioned earlier and I think I am getting the hang of it. I
do not think the problem is that it is an old paperback though. The same thing
has happened with some pretty new books and I recently proofed a pretty new
book that had the same problem in it.

Roger, if you want to test if it is eating commas or eating em dashes, type
up something yourself with both in it, that you will already know which one
is which. Scan that, and see what the results are. If the commas are gone,
you could probably be sure it's eating commas. If the em dashes are gone, then
it's not the commas.
