Monica,
Sarah was suggesting that you replace an em dash with two hyphens which is
the equivalent of typing two minus signs.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Replacing em Dashes
I was reading Jake's tips about dubious characters <grin> and was
wondering what is the ASCII code for the dash I should use to replace the em
dash? I got the part about replacing the em with a double dash, but I don't
know the difference between a hyphen and the desired dash. Word's search
and replace has an "en" dash as well as an "em" dash under the More/Special
pull-down menu. When I replaced the em dash with the en dash, it looked
fine, but I don't know how it would translate into a .brf. Here's a
sentence with two en dashes in the middle, is it right? Dash it all--this
is confusing!
