I would do a Find and Replace in the word file. Replace the equal signs
with dashes.

Subject: [duxuser] Translation Question:
All,
I regularly encounter MS Word documents that contain a line of equal signs
in it. The author of these documents is obviously using the this as a means
of separation within the document. My problem is that when I translate a MS
Word document with a line of equal signs in it, I get the word equal for
every equal sign used.
So for example:
A small line of 20 equal signs, ==================== Translates into A small
line of 20 equal signs, equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal
equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal
My question is, how do I change this to something more meaningful and less
painful to read? For example, replacing the multiple equal signs making up a
line with a line of x's or full cells.
