Hi Lori,
I can't think of a way to do it all at once without also taking out hyphens you
want to keep. I just finished changing (space - space) to (--) in a text, but
that works because it doesn't take hyphens out of words that need them. I'm
afraid you'll have to search for each one. Of course I'm not the final word!
But that's what I'd have to do.

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.

Lori, I'm not sure what you mean by optional hyphens. Do you mean the
hyphens that sometimes appear at the ends of lines? They are not optional, but
are misplaced. If they are part of a word that is supposed to be hyphenated,
they can stay at the end d f the line or if possible be put where they're
suppose to be. If the word should not be hyphenated remove the hyphen and
closeup the word. If the hyphen is at the end of the page, put the whole word
on either that page or the next page. (not sure if I'm being clear;maybe
someone else can explain better.

Hi, Everyone,
I am proofreading a book that is loaded with optional hyphens. I believe
that we are not required to remove them, but I would like to do so, but can't
find instructions for doing so in the manual.
Can anyone tell me the process for removing these hyphens?
I'm going to be getting a new computer in several weeks but found this
fairly short book I can complete proofreading before then, so hope I can remove
these hyphens.
Lori C.
