Edit Reason: Typo
 
Dashes
Did you know that there are three different length dashes? The hyphen is the shortest(-), where the en dash is just a tad longer(–) with the em dash being the longest(—).
The shortcut for the en dash is alt-0150, and for the em dash it's alt-0151. The numeric keypad must be used for entering the numbers.
The longer versions are sometimes used in place of a hyphen for citing the sources of quotes, and that's about all I use them for.
