Gary's response to you is probably better than the one I'm going to give you, but might it not eliminate hyphens in words that should be hyphenated? It's also a problem with using Replace all with nothing. Since I read what I'm validating, I eliminate them by hand where they don't belong when they're at the end of lines--and put them in when someone has used something to remove them and the word should be hyphenated.
