Awesome! Thanks, that's exactly what happened. My laptop doesn't have the Num
- so I guess I can't use the shortcut for the emdash!

Thanks much!

I cannot find the "Symbol" option on my "Insert" menu in Word. I know I
have
used this option before, and the Help option tells me this is where
"Insert
Special Character" is supposed to be. But I can't find it. In fact, I
cannot
find it anywhere. Any ideas? I'm wondering if it's a glitch in my version
or
something. Has anyone else ever had this problem?
