The standard Mac-wide keyboard shortcut for an em dash is
****ft-Option-hyphen (and for en dash: Option-hyphen). Up to Word 2004 at
least, it worked in Word.
I don't want to have to hit modifier keys any more than I have to, so I
set
up an AutoCorrect item to produce an em dash when I successively hit the
adjacent keys [minus sign] and [equals sign].
For en dashes I hit two minus signs.
