You might try converting to HTML first.

After conversion to HTML then you can examine the HTML source around what I believe is called em dash, and see what is being sent. You can also then do a search and replace for the em dash code and replace it with a plain ordinary dash. It is not so decorative, but it also is not going to be misinterpreted or give grief either.

You can edit HTML documents in several programs, Word, Open Office, Kompozer and no doubt several others.

Just think of yourself an explorer on the wild frontier of ebooks (grin)!
