Sometimes the text I get from my book reviewer is full of hyphens that need to be replaced with en dashes. I've tried to do it this way: Ctr+A to select all, Ctr+F to get Find/Changedialog box. In the "Find what" drop down menu I select "Nonbreaking Hyphen" and in the "Change to" menu I select en dash, than click Change all, but no results. The message I got is: Search is completed. 0 replacement(0) made. I've tried to fix the problem using TextCleanup script, but no results either. Any idea why?
Cheers
