I am working on an Applescript that makes text changes in a Word file, then saves it as a plain text file. However, when I open the resulting file, all em dashes have changed to hyphens. Interesting, if I save as plain text in Word without using the script, the em dashes are fine.
Here is the relevant part of my script:
execute find find object of myRange find text "--" replace with ¬
"^+" replace replace all -- Replace two consecutive hyphens with em dash.
save as active document file name myGalley file format format text -- myGalley is the variable for the resulting file name.
-close active document
Any ideas on how to preserve the em dashes would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
