I am a heavy user of Em-dashes and En-dashes in my writing. Unfortunately, in RoboHelp, to access these, it seems you have to always do the following:

Insert --> Symbol
Scroll down
Select the dash
Select [Insert]
Select [Close]

Very tedious...

I checked the help in RoboHelp, looking for speed keys, and can't find any. Did I miss something? Is there a keyboard shortcut for the two dashes?

Thanks in advance for all replies.
