Hi Julia, Guess what? You don't need to convert long dashes to two hyphens anymore! Bookshare's conversion tools do this for us now and do it accurately, so you needn't worry about converting them yourself at all! Happy volunteering!

I'm working on a book and I need to know how to make a long dash, in order to replace it with two dashes. I got some of them when proofing but I forgot to replace them for part of the book. Kellie gave me this great file that has nonkeyboard characters in it, and I think the long dash is one of them, but now jaws twelve won't read some of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Julia
