I also change them, partly out of habit, (it is very little work), and partly because, if it's a book I want to read in braille on my Pac Mate, it'll show a hyphen in place of the em dash, (instead of the double hyphen) and I don't want that for sure.

Hi Folks,I change them anyway, even though I know we don't have to. The sound my JAWS makes to tell me there's an em dash sounds too much like a word to my ears. I know that dash dash is punctuation.

That takes about a minute. Glad to know the conversion tool now can take care of this if you forget to do so. Ann P. -- Ann K.
