Re: Em dash font spacing problem

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
