In Word you can search for hyphen space--and replace it with a double hyphen if
you want. You can either replace all, or have it ask you about each one. You
shouldn't need to use the wild card asterisk. You do have to make sure that the
character is indeed a hyphen. Frequently Word uses a longer hyphen (I think
it's called an m-dash vs. an n-dash--refers to the width of space it
takes)--then it's easiest to just copy the combination of characters you want
to find and paste those into the find field.

Subject: [duxuser] searching for mistakes
Hello,
I have a slight problem. We need to print a news letter and so the file was
sent to me. Supposedly we have all the same configurations set but I am
finding words with a hyphen and space in the middle where they might have been
at the end of a line when the editor wrote it. What I need to know is can I do
a find to find these hyphens? Is this the Windows find when you use control f?
And if so can I use the character * as the wild card and just type in * hyphen
and space. Since we are using Braille characters will it accept the print *
symbol? Or, can I just look for hyphen, space, and will it find them even
though there is a word on the beginning.
