Hi Kim!
Yes, with that many changes, why not let Word do the heavy lifting for you, (smile).

Hi, Christina, Mayrie ReNae gave me the same advice you did. I did what was suggested and I think the character was replaced 380 some times. Boy, what a break for the delete finger! Regards, Kim.

Hi, 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.
