Jill, if I understand things correctly, you are partially correct. As long
as you don't copy anything else to the clipboard, you can paste whatever's
there as many times as you like. I just tried this, so I know it works. But
once you turn off your computer, then I'm pretty sure that whatever you put
in the clipboard is lost.
Amy, I had used a variant of the copy and paste method before. When using
K1000, I would open up a document in Word or WordPad, or email, have JAWS
put the long dash, which it calls the em dash, into the document using its
special character menu, then copying and pasting it into the document I was
working on in K1000. But now I use the much easier method of just entering
the ASCII value, alt 0151, so that way I don't have to go hunting for a long
dash, or using that roundabout method. I did use your method a few times, if
I happened to know where there was a long dash in a book I was reading; but
now I don't have to go looking for one at all.
Evan

I thought that once something had been copied and pasted, it no longer
existed or if the computer was turned off this was lost; am I wrong?

Like many others I have long tried various solutions for substitutes for
the long [wide?] dash since my keyboard does not have one. 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.
