Hi Martha, according to what I have heard, the Bookshare tool is
supposed to deal with em-dashes and extra spaces and/or tabs, but I'm
afraid I like to deal with that myself when I proofread. It was part of
the procedures I was sent which I attend to before I start going through
a book I'm proofreading, so yes, I deal with em-dashes, smart quotes,
split dialog, ellipses, etc. before reading a thing. It's part of my
routine and I'm comforted when something is off my list I keep in my
head, if you understand what I mean. Regards, Kim Friedman.

Hi Netta,
Those mdashes drive me crazy too. I copy one of them and then use
it in
the find box and put two hyphens in the replace box. Hope this helps.
Good
luck!
Marty
