What causes the hyphen key to produce dots?

[Guest]

Working on Word document, and suddenly the hyphen key does not type a hyphen,
but instead types dots (not periods).

Are you using the "regular" hyphen key?

I looked at that font. The hyphen does appear to be a bit shorter than Arial
or TNR.

Okay, I went back and changed the font to TNR for just thehyphen and that
fixed the problem. Thanks for your help.

It doesn't appear that there is anything else in that font that is a wee bit
longer. There is a dash but it's too long to serve as a hyphen.

Glad I could be of some assistance.
