My client has approximately two thousand help files. We use Alt+0150 to create en dashes, which we use in every file to separate the elements in the breadcrumb trail and path descriptions. In two of these files, the en dashes, plus the space on one side of the dash, disappear. They might disappear after we hit save, or they might wait until we close the file and reopen it. I have compared the meta information and charset of these two files with other files and everything is the same. We are completley mystified. Has anyone seen this odd behaviour before?
Thanks,
L.
