Default Replace minus signs

Simply use Find-Replace (Ctrl-H). If you don't remember how you typed your
minus signs, just copy one of them and paste it into the Find box; then
type in the Replace With box whatever you want to replace them with; and
click Replace All.

Unfortunately, your solution don't work. Find-replace is changing characters inside text only! And it's impossible to select and replace that minus signs in front of the rows, because they are seen as bullets.

You are now talking about all sorts of other things that had nothing to
do with your question.
