(Archived) EM and EN Dashes

[wscg 0]

Sorry for the total beginning question here, but I've looked and looked and have not found an answer: is there a simple way to insert em dashes and en dashes in Evernote? Without copying and pasting them in from elsewhere?

The alt codes specified in this wikipedia article appear to work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash

en dash: Alt+0150: –

em dash: Alt+0151:—

Does anyone know if there's a way to insert en and em dashes without a number pad? My small keyboard doesn't have a "Num Lock" key or number pad, so I can't use the alt codes (at least I don't think so--I'm very much a beginner but I've looked around for a way to enter alt codes without a number pad and haven't found anything).

I copied the following info into a reference note in Evernote.

When I need the en dash or the em dash, I just copy and paste it to the new note.

 

dash: -

en dash (width of N): Alt + 0150: –  

em dash (width of M): Alt + 0151: —
