This is a minor editing question, but... I just received proofsheets from
my typesetter and noticed that they changed all the hyphens in compound
last names to en-dashes. For example:

Jane Doe[en-dash] Smith

instead of

Jane Doe-Smith

I looked in the manual I typically use (American Psychological
Association, 4th ed.), but there weren't any recommendations regarding
this.

Is this a new convention? Anybody know?

Thanks so much,


Danielle DeVoss
