I must have forgotten to mention that this is a DXB file and is not a word
file. I have to use Braille characters.

In Word you can search for hyphen space--and replace it with a double hyphen
if you want. You can either replace all, or have it ask you about each one.
You shouldn't need to use the wild card asterisk. You do have to make sure
that the character is indeed a hyphen. Frequently Word uses a longer hyphen
(I think it's called an m-dash vs. an n-dash--refers to the width of space
it takes)--then it's easiest to just copy the combination of characters you
want to find and paste those into the find field.

Hello,
I have a slight problem. We need to print a news letter and so the file
was sent to me. Supposedly we have all the same configurations set but I am
finding words with a hyphen and space in the middle where they might have
been at the end of a line when the editor wrote it. What I need to know is
can I do a find to find these hyphens? Is this the Windows find when you
use control f? And if so can I use the character * as the wild card and
just type in * hyphen and space. Since we are using Braille characters will
it accept the print * symbol? Or, can I just look for hyphen, space, and
will it find them even though there is a word on the beginning.
