En- dash/em-dash All I need to do is type either double hyphen or triple hyphen to get the appropriate dash. No need for colons etc. I have never changed any autocorrect settings to achieve this. It is triggered by the second space, whether immediately after the hyphen or after the next word.

[space] 3. double hyphen (minus) 4. word2 5. [space] Until step 4 included, there is no auto-correction seen. Once I press the space bar (i.e. step 5), only then I see the double hyphen (minus) characters converted into the "en dash" character. Note that this alternative does not work (for me) if I want "em dash" instead. Alternative B: 1. word1 2. [space] 3. [colon character] 4. triple hyphen (minus) 5. [colon character] Immediately after step 5, I see the characters from steps 3 to 5 converted into an "em dash". In step 4, if instead of three hyphen (minus) characters I only type-in two of them, the resulting character after step 5 is an "en dash" instead of "em dash". This is all with the "AutoCorrect > While typing" option enabled, and without having changed any of the default "Replace" related options.
