Default How do I keep my same en and em dashes from word 2000 in vista?

I am working on documents in Vista that were originally formed in Windows
office 2000. The only problem at this time is that the en and em dashes are
different sizes and weight.
How can I get them uniform? Preferably the same as in the original?

Neither Windows 2000 nor Vista can create documents. Presumably you have
upgraded from some previous version of Office/Word to Office/Word 2007,
which uses different fonts as the default. If you change the font back to
Times New Roman, are the en and em dashes what you want?

The font is in Times New Roman-I've tried New Courier and it's close but not
exact.
Any more suggestions?

What font was used in your older documents?
