Hi. The discussion about macros makes me think there might be a way to remove dashes between words when they are split between lines. Simply doing a find and replace for the dash won't catch it because of the hard line break. I have used the spell checker to find some of these split words when they look like mistakes and I fix them manually. Only after spell checking do I read through and remove the ones spell check didn't catch because the dashes slow my reading either with jaws or in Braille with the Braillenote. Are there any less time consuming solutions to this annoyance? I don't know computer programming to create a macro. Thanks. Cheryl Fogle MA Ph.D. candidate in Anthropology, University of New Mexico
