Hi all,

Let me just answer this one, as I dragged the monster from under the bed. Debbie, we're talking about M-dashes those funny dashes that are longer than normal dashes. We're not talking about single hyphens. If you're using a screen reader, it will tell you when you get an m-dash. These symbols do not do well when the book is converted to braille, and so it is best to replace them with two hyphens.

I sure hope this doesn't spawn another three day marathon of messages! <chagrinned>

Ann P.
