If you type a word, then two hyphens, and then another word followed by a space or punctuation, the two hyphens are replaced by an em dash only at the very end of that sequence. If you put a space before the two hyphens, the result is an en dash (but again, not until the character after the next word). Other ways to get an em dash are the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+number pad minus, or to hold the Alt key while typing 0151 on the number pad. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
