Automatical N-dash insertion

Post by Guest »

Hello,

Is it right that Atlantis doesn't insert automatically a N-dash if the hyphen is placed (-), directly after the - a space, and than another character, as it works in e.g. MS Word?

Maybe I miss something, or this behavour can be reached by some customizing. Please, let me know how to make Atlantis insert automatical N-dashes into documents.

Many thanks in advance!

Atlantis replaces two consecutive hyphens with a long dash, and "<hyphen><space>" with "<long dash><space>" (please see the "Tools | AutoCorrect Options..." dialog in Atlantis):

Admin,

Thank you for your soon reply!

You're right: this works very well! I just tried and this is alright. For some reason it didn't in another document... Maybe importing a document from another word processor may have disfunctioned this feature.

What the cause was: it's not important any more, for it works right now! And if this may happen again I know now how to reenable this feature.

Kind regards,


Paul
