Create Macro to Search for Mulltiple Spaces Before and After En Dash and Hyphen

[sleake]

With help from this forum, I've built a macro with wildcards that replaces multiple spaces of varying numbers after perods, commas, and before and after numbers. Now I want to add a search for the same before and after en dashes and hyphens. (Pretty soon I'll have Word streamling a lot of documents I edit!)

Can anyone suggest the proper syntax? I have no objection to running one routine for before and another for after.

You want to remove those characters only when they are at the beginning or end of the string, not in between? Can't you adapt code you already have? Are you using macro or VBA?
