Hi Cindy,

Thanks for the info. I'll try it the next time. I'm not too familiar about the various kind of dashes. I use the dash just to the right of zero at times. Would that one do and should there be a space before and after? I'll try it on an old book here that I have already sent in just in case I ruin it.
Good luck to me.
