Just adding another hyphen to the one already present seems to be the most straight-forward. In the long run, some editing functions just have to be done reading the book so that one can tell whether the one dash there should actually be a long dash or a legitimate hyphen.

On my keyboard I use Shift,control,dash. Perhaps on yours it would be alt., shift, dash. In one document I sort of made a mistake and in the preferences I had double dash change to em dash, so that happens automatically every time I hit a double dash--so when I find a hyphen I just add another to it and it becomes an em dash.

All to no avail. Well, I finally found a workable solution: look for the nearest long dash and "copy" - not cut - it and then paste it where you need it. It is so simple I am surprised I had not heard it or read it here and I am sure someone must have posted it but since I never saw it I thought I would share this method with you.
