Tabbing issue after em dash

Solved
ba2_7381 -  
Hello everyone,

I have a problem with Word, regarding em dashes. When I use them for dialogues, there is an indentation before, which is good, but there is also a tab after, which I don't want.

I can't remove this space that is added directly after the dash; I find it too large.

Thank you,

    Go to FILE/Options/Proofing/AutoCorrect Options
    deselect "Automatic Bullet Lists" in the "While Typing" and "AutoFormat As You Type" tabs.
    This should solve your problem ...

      Thank you, Raymond,

      Indeed, it works. It's tedious because it requires going over all the dashes in a text, but it can be done quite well with a macro.

      Thanks again.
