Hi Kim!

It's an extra long dash.  You were right in changing it to two hyphens.

I'm proofreading a book and have found something called an M-dash. What is it? I deleted it when I encountered it and just put in a regular dash, i.e., two hyphens. I hope that was correct. I'm thinking this book I'm proofing is going to take some work on my part. The scan is very good. I think everybody is correct when they say every new book to proofread brings its own challenges. Regards, Kim. P.S.: Maybe this is where I learn about the find-and-replace thing? I'm just correcting things as I read. K.
