------- Additional comments from kalzar...@openoffice.org Sat Mar 27 23:10:51 +0000 2010 ------- Consider the following sentence: "He tried—he really did—but he just couldn't do it." Any other spellchecker will find no spelling errors with this sentence. Nor should it, for there are none. Unfortunately, this is not the case in OpenOffice.org, as the spellchecker doesn't seem to realize that the em-dash is a word break or whitespace character. Before anyone suggests that adding a space on either side would solve the issue, I would like to note that most style guides and typographers will tell you that em-dashes are closed, with no space on either side. As such, that would not be a viable solution here. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
