Hello All: 

 

Thank you so much. Would you be able to tell me how to replace the soft
hyphen? I don't have the number pad on my laptop, so something where I can
just do a find and replace would be great. 

 

Again, thank you.

Hello 
Aidee:

If you press numpad three times you will find that It is character 173 a
soft hyphen.

( see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_hyphen ;)

Hello All: 

 

This is Aidee, one of the proofreaders. I have a (hopefully) quick question.
I'm reading a book someone scanned for one of my classes, and there's this
character that keeps showing up that splits words. However, JAWS isn't
reading it out loud, so I am not really sure what it is. Do any of you
lovely knowledgeable people know what it could be? I have copied and pasted
it below. 

 

say-

 

It is right after "say." 

 

Thank you all so much for your time and help.
