Hi Shannon,  
 
I answered this question for you on the k1000 e-mail list, because I saw
that message of yours first.  In case you don't get that one for some
reason, or in case anyone else wants the same information, here's the text
of that message.
 
Happy scanning and proofing!
 
The symbol for a tab is \t.
 
Do you really want to get rid of long dashes, since they represent a pause
in the writing,  or do you want to replace them with two hyphens? In either
case, if you turn the numeric keypad back to a number pad,hold down the alt
key, and press 0151 on the numeric keypad, then hit enter.  This will create
a long dash in your document, which you can then copy to the clipboard and
paste into the find box of the find and replace dialogue.
 
You might be able to create that symbol directly in the find box by typing
the character string, but as I don't get rid of long dashes, but convert
them to two hyphens, I've never tried that.
 
Hope that helps.
 
Mayrie

Hello.
 
For some strange reason, my version of microsoft word has totally crapped
out on me. So, I'm needing to make some corrections using K1000. Can someone
tell me what the symbols are for Mdashes and tab symbols? I would greatly
appreciate it.
