what I do , sometimes, is set up a search to find dash and replace with em or endash but then manually step thru the text- hit the find button to find 1st instance then either hit replace+find to change it or hit find again to leave it as-is & move on. This is better done AFTER reading the book if you don't want to see plot spoilers! you can visually make a context-sensitive decision in less than a second so it does not take too long.

you can automate the special case of a dash immediately before a closing quote if that bugs you
