Guido, on my keyboard (admittedly I use a Mac, but I use Microsoft Word) the option-shift-dash key (used simultaneously) creates the M-dash. Also, it?s in the symbol table (file? ) in the Insert file. I know that?s on a PC too because I used that at work. After reading Pam?s post I was going to switch and use double-dashes, but after reading yours later in the Digest I guess I?ll continue using the M-dash.
