Hi, I have a problem with the text. I exported it from Word to Indesign. After formatting, the dashes for the dialogues disappeared. I haven't noticed at which moment it happened, and I don't know how to fix it. What could I do?
Thank you for your help
It's certainly because, in the Word file, the dialogue dashes are automatically created with a bullet list. You only have to do the same in InDesign. Create a paragraph style using automatic bullets (the dialogue dashes) and apply this paragraph style where you need it.

It's not entirely clear what dialogue dashes are. Let's have some screenshots that show what you mean.

Ah okay. The first screenshot is from word, the second form InDesign. I have lost dash characters.
