Hi Tracey,

I wrap the em dash in thin spaces for that great typographic look. The key sequence in Frame (either version) is:

Esc (space) t
Ctrl-Q, Shift-Q
Esc (space) t

You can also do a search and replace across books in Frame 6 to catch them all.

Cheers,

Tom Neuburger

Hi all,

This is my first message to this list. I've been lurking for a few months
and learning a lot.

I am having troubles with the spacing before and after an em dash in a
paragraph. With certain fonts (Palatino, Times, others) the em dash spacing
is off; sometimes the dash lays on top of the first letter in the next word.


I have Frame 5.5.6 and Frame 6 - I'm having the same problem in both
versions.

I'd appreciate any help I can get to resolve this problem. Thanks!
