I am not sure what you mean by "connected by a long dash." There is the dash and the hyphen. The dash seperates words and the hyphen connects words. Since most keyboards do not have a dash we substitute a double hyphen for them for bookshare books if we are substituting anything at all. Hyphens should remain as they are.

Hello to everyone. I am reading a 300 page book for school which I scannedmyself. I am using Jaws 12 and Kurzweil 12. I like listening to my bookwith Kurzweil to catch anything odd Jaws says. I'm finding that when thereare 2 words connected with a long dash, Jaws cannot speak them separately. So, what I have been doing is manually replacing where it says long dashwith two dashes using the key next to the 0. Jaws reads better this way, atleast is sounds easier to understand for me. My question is, is this okay to do? If so, are there steps to do it in a faster way. I tried using find and replace but was unsuccessful. thanks for any assistance or suggestions. Blessings, Monica Svopa
