questionHi, Kim.
Yep, it's time for a search and replace.
In word, hit the control key and the h key.  This pulls up the search and 
replace option.  Type in carat and then the plus sign.  That is ^+  Then tab 
once and type in -- that is two hyphens and then tab over and hit the "replace 
all" button.  As a result of some Daisy conversion thing, or maybe the .brf 
formatting thing, Bookshare likes us to convert the mdashes into two hyphens.
HTH,
Christina

  I'm proofreading a book and have found something called an M-dash. What is 
it? I deleted it when I encountered it and just put in a regular dash, i.e., 
two hyphens. I hope that was correct. I'm thinking this book I'm proofing is 
going to take some work on my part. The scan is very good. I think everybody is 
correct when they say every new book to proofread brings its own challenges. 
Regards, Kim. P.S.: Maybe this is where I learn about the find-and-replace 
thing? I'm just correcting things as I read. K.
