When I download data into a spreadsheet (2003), any hyphens in the
download are automatically changed to a longer type hyphen. For
example: A hyphen - now looks like — which is wider. This causes a
problem when I'm doing a search or if I then use in Access2003 and
write a query. I was told in another section it is an ASCII 45.

Is there a way to fix this so hyphens are imported as hyphens?

Yes, but it didn't tell me how to fix this. I find it hard to believe
that I am the only one that this is causing issues for.
