------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jan 4 02:23:42 -0800 2007 ------- Working in MSWord, users can freely insert en- and em-dashes in their documents by pressing "Ctrl+gray minus" and "Ctrl+Alt+gray minus". Working in OOO they have to convert pairs of hyphens if they want dashes. The rules of such convertions are applicable mainly for American English style and usage. For example, in Russian en-dashes are used to mark dialogues (and OOO users can't "type two hyphens with a spacing before" in this case); em- dashes in Russian punctuation must be separated from the words around it (and OOO in that situation converts hyphens into en-dash). Dashes are punctuation marks like commas, semicolons, colons and so on, but there are no shortcuts in OOO to insert them. Is it possible to make inserting en- and em-dashes in OOO Writer independent like in MSWord? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
