Em-Dash and En-Dash (RISE) Nov 17, 2020 By PJ L Hello Team: I'm looking to add an em dash (the long dash) as part of a title in Rise. I don't see anything posted and wanted to know if anyone knows if this is an option in Rise. I see it has been added to Storyline, but I'm working in Rise on this one. Thanks!
Alyssa Gomez Staff over 3 years ago11/18/20 at 9:31 pm (UTC) Hello, PJ! I was able to insert an em-dash into the title of a Rise 360 course by using this em-dash keyboard shortcut on my Mac: Option + Shift + Hyphen (-) If you're using Windows, try this em-dash keyboard shortcut: Alt+0151

Karl Muller MATC Group 3 years ago04/22/21 at 2:32 pm (UTC) I just tried Alt+0151 on a Windows 10 PC and it worked.
Adam Judge almost 3 years ago05/06/21 at 5:44 pm (UTC) alt+0151 doesn't work for me when editing in Rise on Windows10 - had to fall back to copy-paste from a document.
Chino Navarro Staff almost 3 years ago05/08/21 at 4:29 am (UTC) Hi MATC group and Adam! Are you able to add the Em-dash via Alt+0151 in another application such as Microsoft Word?
Tracy Tisdale almost 3 years ago05/12/21 at 4:02 pm (UTC) Yes, these alternative codes work in Word, and I have used them in some Adobe products also.
Chino Navarro Staff Tracy Tisdale almost 3 years ago05/13/21 at 4:32 am (UTC) Hi Tracy! Awesome to hear that the alternate codes are working for you in Word, Are you also having problems with using the same codes in Rise 360?
Tracy Tisdale almost 3 years ago05/13/21 at 4:34 am (UTC) No. Using the Alt+XXXX method works in RIse also.
Brian Houten almost 3 years ago05/19/21 at 5:50 pm (UTC) It only works for me if I use the numeric keypad to enter the 0151. If I try to use the top row numbers it does not work.
