Adding Hyphens, En-dashes, and Em-dashes

You can cycle through hyphens, en-dashes, and em-dashes if enabled in your document type.

1. Click anywhere in a paragraph and press the hyphen key. The initial type of dash is context-sensitive. For example, if you insert a single dash between letters, you get a hyphen. If you insert a single dash between numbers, you get an en-dash. By pressing the hyphen key a second and third time, you cycle through all the available dashes. If you press a fourth time, you return to the initial selection.
