In WinWord, however, FEFF is not available in any commonly used font,
including Arial Unicode MS.

We found it. It's FEFF--but it didn't work to hold an em dash with the
following quotation mark.

I'd be interested to hear if the zero width joiner works (didn't on my
Mac,
but it's not like I really knew what I was doing).

To the original poster--you could probably record a find&replace macro to
switch all your kludges back before you sent the file off to the
publisher--e.g., use the minus for now, then switch it back (assuming your
text won't have minuses ordinarily).

What Terry is referring to is a specific No-Width Non-break Space

which may be apocryphal (discussion in another NG hasn't turned it up
yet)
and it's not guaranteed that this would work, anyway. You might try 200D
(Zero Width Joiner), available only in "large" Unicode fonts such as
Arial
Unicode MS.
