What is the difference between an em dash and an en dash? I saw both
of those in the list of symbols achieved if you use Insert-4 to read
the list of symbols.

When I'm validating, I change two dashes to an em dash
with a replace all, if they're already there. Or maybe
I do leave them, if I'm lazy. Usually, though, there
is only one dash or hyphen, and I have to change those
to em dashes when they should be.
