Thanks all.
Well, if optional hyphens are optional, I choose not to have them thank you.

Hi Bob,
Optional hyphens are not em dashes. Optional hyphens are hyphens that were in
the print book when a line on the page ended, but didn't need a hyphen at that
point otherwise.
And em dashes no longer need to be converted to double hyphens. I tested it
and it's true.

I thought you converted optional hyphens (—) to two dashes (--).

There is another quirky arrow (not just a straight line), called an
optional hyphen, and those you DO delete. Maybe those are what you are
thinking of or have seen, Cindy. I would be interested in learning how it is
identified in Braille or by speech.

I am thinking the right pointing error is a tab, and would be
replaced by a space unless you want your material formatted as a table, then it
can be used for creation of a table.
If you are in Word and not wanting to make a table, do a find and
replace by putting ^t in the first box and a single space in the second.
HTH!

The right pointing arrows are something you need to eliminate.
In word you just replace all of the ^l with a space, unless it's truly where a
paragraph ends then you replace it with ^p.
But usually it's a temporary line break so that it looks like
the print book, but is very annoying in braille and needs to be eliminated.
