Hi Bud,
I see where the dashes should go, and it appears they should be there. I
don't know anything about speech programs, of course, but if you do not want
to hear it say "dash", can you set it so it does not say that?
By removing the dashes, you have words run together.

Hi gang again.
Here is a page of the bookwith a couple of those dashes for an example.
Strangely enough after I converted it from .kes to .rtf it seems to read
better and pronounce them as two words. Wonder why that would be. Maybe
they'll read ok since it will all be in .rtf.
Oh well!
Bud
P. S. I just looked at this page that I changed from .kes to .rtf and now
the dashes are gone and the two words are run together One instance is near
the bottom where it says violence and only run together as one word.
Therer's another one about in the middle of the page also. . The mystery
deepens.

had a look at them but couldn't see anything suggestive. He stashed them all
in a plastic evidence bag and they drove back downtown to drop them off at
the lab. Then they went up to that Thrifty in Hollywood to talk to Wells. He
wasn't as amiable as before, when Palliser asked questions over again. "What
the hell you want with my shoes, anyway? I didn't know cops could go right
in a person's pad and just steal stuff."
"You'll get them back," said Galeano easily. `We may want to borrow the
ones you're wearing too. Are all those the only shoes you've got?"
"For Gossakes, what am I supposed to do till then? I don't know why you guys
are bothering me, I never had anything to do with thatyou know what I mean.
I haven't done anything at all."
"So you've got nothing to worry about," said Galeano in a friendly tone. "We
can't prove you did anything. We're just looking around, Wells."
"So you can go and look around somewhere else."
"You'd like us to find out who killed your grandmother, wouldn't you?"
asked Palliser.
"Oh, sure, sure, I sure hope you do. But I told you where I was that night,
you asked Mae and she told you, we were out at that disco all the time."
"Yes, we know you were."
"Then why are you bothering me? Go stealing my shoes! Cops! When do I get
them back?"
"When we're finished with them," said Galeano. They went back to the parking
lot and sat in the car and Palliser switched on the engine for the air
conditioning. "In a sort of way," said Galeano, "I see what you mean, John.
Another Baby Face. A little too innocent to be true, but on the other hand"
"Oh, I know, I know," said Palliser. "He's got no remote history of
violenceonly that one little count on him, and it's an honest upright
family."
"What the hell is all this business about shoes?"
"I've got no idea," said Palliser. "It was Duke suggested it. He
