Hi, Christina, Mayrie ReNae gave me the same advice you did. I did what was
suggested and I think the character was replaced 380 some times. Boy, what a
break for the delete finger! Regards, Kim.

Hi, Kim.
Yep, it's time for a search and replace.
In word, hit the control key and the h key. This pulls up the search and
replace option. Type in carat and then the plus sign. That is ^+ Then tab
once and type in -- that is two hyphens and then tab over and hit the
"replace all" button. As a result of some Daisy conversion thing, or maybe
the .brf formatting thing, Bookshare likes us to convert the mdashes into
two hyphens.
HTH,
Christina

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.
