Nice thing in Kurzweil, is just to do this, find your "long dash," or
"single quote," etc. highlight it and copy to the clipboard, control H,
replace all, and you're done. Rather that than changing all one at a time
when there can be 4500 of them, etc. :)

Your welcome. It's a great method because it is so general. It works in
all
programs. You don't have to learn special keyboard combinations to get
the
special characters for each program.

Thanks Evan for the below suggestion. It worked perfectly! It's great
to
have those hyphens gone now. Also I've now learned a neat little trick
for finding the alt commands for characters.
Thanks again,
Allison

What I would do is find an example in the book, then hit the 5 on the
numpad until JAWS tells me the ASCII value of that character. Then, go
to
the Find menu and type alt-0 and the three digit number of the optional
hyphen character in there. I think that should work.

Hi again,
I just tried the ^- method again and it did not work. It said it made
zero replacements, and sure enough when I checked the file, the
optional
hyphens were still there. I am using a different version of Word-Word
2002. That's the most current version that I have.
Thanks,
Allison

Hi Allison,
Are you sure? I looked it up in the help and it says to use ^- I also
went through the menus in the Replace dialogue and had Word auto
insert
it, and it put ^-. Maybe we have different versions of Word? I'm
running 2003. Odd.
Cheers,
Jake

Hi Jake,
No. I'd already tried the ^-. That is actually the code for a soft
return.
There are none of those in my book. So if anyone has another
suggestion I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Allison

Hi Allison,
If memory serves me correctly on this befuddled Friday afternoon,
using ^- will represent an optional hyphen in Microsoft Word.
Cheers,
Jake

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Removing Optional Hyphens
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know how to do a global find and replace of optional
hyphens? I have a book where there are several of them inside
words.
This breaks up the words and makes them difficult to read. Rather
than replacing them one-by-one, I'd like to replace them all at
once. With most unusual characters, I can do a find and replace,
but
it doesn't seem to be working with this one. In part because I
don't know how to create an optional hyphen. I looked at the JAWS
marks that one can find by pressing insert 4, but it's not in that
list. I tried looking on my special alt characters cheat sheet,
and
it's not on there either. Lastly, I tried selecting and copying
the
character and pasting it into the find and replace box, but it
doesn't seem to want to paste. In fact when I tried, it deleted
all
my spaces in the book and made it into a log strand of words.
Yikes. I could luckily undo that easily enough, but I still have
my
optional hyphens cluttering up my book. BTW, I'm using MS Word
2002
and JFW 9.0.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Allison
