Hi Cindy,
If you change the width of your MS Word window, the dashes will be displayed
next to each other. The only reason they are split is due to wrapping the text
in the window. It's just how they are displayed, nothing to be concerned about
as far as the final book is concerned.
HTH, Carrie

You don't understand; smile I'm talking about when
they are split up--one dash is on one line and the
next is on the next line, and I can't really shorten
the margins any more--well, I suppose I can, from .75
to .5. I suppose if the pages aren't being printed the
side margins don't matter?
