(For those who don't fall into this category, please excuse this tangent, but I know from sad experience that debating punctuation can be a somewhat religious experience.) Some of you may take exception to the claim of no surrounding spaces. (An en dash may be a different story that we won't get into in this tip.)įor those readers who are editors and/or typographers, a quick side-trip may be in order here. In other words, there are typically no spaces around an em dash. Normally an em dash is placed in a document between two words. However, it should be noted that an em dash may not work exactly as you want it to.
Exactly how you create these types of dashes has been covered in other issues of WordTips.
Word allows you to enter many different typographical symbols, among them en dashes and em dashes.
