By default, middle and long dashes are converted to the short ones during the initial book formatting. But if you want to keep them, do as follows
1. Tools -> Book Cleaner
2. In Book Cleaner
"input file: before formatting": choose MiddleDashes_before.bcf
"input file: after formatting": choose MiddleDashes_after.bcf
3. Close Book Cleaner
4. Load your book
5. In "Make Sony Reader file" -> options -> dashes: as it is

Hmm. I don't seem to have MiddleDashes_before.bcf or MiddleDashes_after.bcf as options -- did I miss some files somewhere?

Nevermind -- found 'em.

Just added "shoe" to the start of a book I'm converting (one with lots of em dashes) and both the em dashes and the "shoe" came out fine.

That depends what language you have set Book Designer for before you load the file. If you set it to French, you will have oe converted to —.

Yes, I always use German so it doesn't mangle accented characters.

This is getting very confusing. I always set BD to French precisely so it doesn't mangle accented characters! Do you reckon that German works better for this?

Yes, German seems best and I haven't seen any characters mangled by that setting, like Old English and Tolkien.

All right, you've convinced me to go with German too.

There was a suggestion on that a long time back, I tried it and never switched back to English. This tip is also in the BookDesigner Wiki.

Yeah, I've just been using French ... probably due to greater familiarity with that language, which is of course irrelevant since I'm not actually using the language.
