Hi Roger,
Never were we told to convert em dashes to a dash. It used to be necessary
to convert them to two hyphens, but now the conversion tools do this for us.
A dash is a hyphen creating a compound word, an em dash, or in the old days,
two hyphens denoted a pause in the reading. Very, very different things, so
if people are converting em dashes to a single hyphen or dash, they're not
helping at all!

As I recall, we were told some time back that it is better if we change the
m dashes to a dash, but it is not required.
