Kurzweil 1000 recognizes and preserves the long dashes, and JAWS with MS
Word also recognizes them.
I think the fine Reader software used to replace long dashes with single
hyphens, although I don't know if it still does. I also think some
validators still replace all long dashes believing them to be incorrect.
Peace
Deborah

Deborah, I'm glad to know that I am not the only one who doesn't like to see
hyphens substituted for dashes. I always fix them myself when I put a book
on my Braille Lite, but if I edit them on the computer as I scan, will
proper dashes always be identified verbally as either "long dash" or "dash
dash?" If these are always distinguished verbally, I will always search and
replace while I am scanning to eliminate hyphens where there should be
dashes the next time I scan a book for Bookshare.
