Hi Sue,
 
My understanding is that it only takes out optional hyphens.  I hope that's
true! I think that if the caret weren't before the hyphen in the find box
then all hyphens would be removed.  So, I do think we're safe using ^- in
the find box.

But won't that fix take out all of the hyphens, even the ones in compound
words that are supposed to be there?

Just in case, ^- is shift 6 and then a hypen.

Hi Lori;

Search for optional hypens in word ^- then do a replace with nothing.

As I recall, they ar added by the scanning program.  They are just in the
middle of words and the speech says "optional hyphen".  I deleted a lot of
emails because I thought a way to remove them all at once was in the manual,
but I can't find it.  I will just remove them one by one although it will
certainly slow down my progress with the book.
