Text that you type: Result
A - B (A, space, minus, space, B) A – B (A, space, en-dash, space, B)
A -- B (A, space, minus, minus, space, B) A – B (A, space, en-dash, space, B)
A--B (A, minus, minus, B) A—B (A, em-dash, B)
A-B (A, minus, B) A-B (unchanged)
A -B (A, space, minus, B) A -B (unchanged)
A --B (A, space, minus, minus, B) A –B (A, space, en-dash, B)
Tip
You can also record macros to insert en and em dashes and assign
those macros to unused key combinations, for example Ctrl+Shift+N
and Ctrl+Shift+M. For more information, see Chapter 17 (Customizing
Writer).
Windows
Hold down one of the Alt keys and type on the numeric keypad: 0150 for an en
dash or 0151 for an em dash. The dash appears when you release the Alt key.
Tip
On a keyboard with no numeric keypad, use a Fn (Function) key
combination to type the numbers. (The Fn key is usually to the right of
the left-hand Ctrl key on the keyboard.)
For example, on a US keyboard layout, the combination for an en dash
should be Alt+Fn+mjim and for an em dash it should be Alt+Fn+mjij.
Linux
Hold down the Compose key and type two hyphens and a period for an en dash, or
three hyphens for an em dash. The dash appears when you release the Compose
key.
Tip
The key that operates as a Compose key varies with the Linux
distribution. It is usually one of the Alt or Win keys, but may be another
key, and should be user-selectable.
Mac OS X
Hold down the Option (Alt) key and type a hyphen for an en dash. For an em dash,
the combination is Shift+Option+Hyphen.
Formatting paragraphs
You can apply many formats to paragraphs using the buttons on the Formatting
toolbar. Figure 67 shows the Formatting toolbar as a floating toolbar, customized to
show only the buttons for paragraph formatting.
Tip
It is highly recommended that you use paragraph styles rather than
manually formatting paragraphs, especially for long or standardized
documents. For information on the advantages of styles and how to use
them, see Chapters 6 and 7.
