I have found that when I import information into Excel 2003, Hyphens are
not converted to a longer type symbol (almost like 2 hypen widths).
I've seen it in Microsoft Access 2003 also. How can I get hyphens to
remain as hyphens. For example, if I type a hyphen it shows up as -.
But here's a copy of what gets imported -. as you can see it's wider.
This gets annoying especially when I use Access and what to type in
something for a query. Can you help me?
