Hello,
I have seen this in a couple of books I have scanned and the book I have has
these dashes that when reading them with JAWS as "m-" but when you type a
dash it reads as a dash. I am editing this book in Office2003.
Then I am also seeing where a word will be read "recov- er" but when you
move by letter it reads as nothing or like a space. I can use delete to
remove the " space dash" and it works.
Is there any way to use a replace to pull these out?

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Validating and Paragraph Marks
Hi Sarah and Everyone,
I actually have a macro that the folks at Corel helpped me write for
WordPerfect 6.1 for DOS. It really works. It reformats the lines, and puts
the paragraph breaks as a blank line between 2 paragraphs.
Anyone can have this file if they want it. It might help with other macros,
I don't know, however it's anyone's for free. All ya got to do is ask for
it and I'll email it to anyone who wants it. Perhaps it could be converted
and used for another WordProcesser such as Word or whatever.
The file is called wconvert.zip.
I hope this file can be useful to anyone.
Thanks.
