Greg, you say,
“The only other thing is that in the version of Word I use, it will
auto
replace '--' with en-dash as I type.”
Which version do you use? I have Windows XP Pro and Word.
As a mater of fact some times my version has converted to a long dash,
but I don’t know what I did for that to happen.
Any suggestions.
Wena

You also have access to this from the main menu while in Edit Contents
mode. In some situations in can save time to use the clipboard, i.e.,
copy and paste.
I think you can also use Search and Replace if you have a number of
these, by replacing '--' with en-dash. The trick would be to paste the
glyph into the dialog.
The only other thing is that in the version of Word I use, it will auto
replace '--' with en-dash as I type.

This must be the most useful missing feature.
Image captions come a *very* close second.
Besides that - much kudos to the scribus dev. team!

oh, i see dozens of more useful missing features elsewhere in scribus...
but i guess that the story editor should go through a rewrite in the
next year... last chance would be the gsoc 2013...
if anybody volunteers the programming time, i'm sure that the ui-iv-iu
crew will be happy to prepare a proposal for user interface and provide
a nice set of use cases.

After research from the other forum, I found how to set tabs. However,
I find that tab set moves and so I constantly have to move it back on
the ruler bar above. It has been tedious work that way.
Is there any way to make the Tab Set to stay were I put it?

Not quite sure what's going on there, but the best way (maybe most
predictable) is to have tab settings as part of a Paragraph style. Each
paragraph style can have its own tabs.

How about semi-automatic?
First, save an en-dash to the clipboard - select it, then Ctrl-C.
Now, in Edit Contents mode (or I suppose also in Story Editor), Edit >
Search/Replace.
In the Search for: tab, check Text, fill in --
In the Replace with: tab, check Text, then Ctrl-V to put your en-dash
in
the text box.
Now, click Search, and then either Replace one by one, or Replace All.

I don't think it is the points but the parentheses that are causing
you trouble.
What OS do you use? What version of Scribus?

There was a time that would have been fine in the Microsoft
environment,
but it would never have been right under any Unix/Linux version. I'm
not even sure it would be correct for OSX, because I've never worked
with it. If that's the current way of constructing file names, it
probably needs rethinking.
