Em Dash Worksht-1
Name of Poem

​by Author Name

Text of the poem goes here

sample text follows here
A half-moon and necklace of stars
shimmer above the Bridge
as I walk the greens
of a golf course at Land’s End,
buffeted by winds
cleaving the vortex where 
the Golden Gate enters the sea. 
 
Benedicty text comes in here with em dashes:

Two perfectly juicy white peaches per day including one for a fresh Bellini
Times two months
Times—if luck holds and water flows and orchards grow—twenty years
Slightly expanded if compromise includes yellows, freestones, donuts
Really quite finite

test conclusion:  the em dash copies and pastes ok from the orig. MSWord docx on file
in my computer file of accepted documents.  
​
​and the poem continues down to here

Further testing on 4-18-20
“Has anything changed?” he asked on 4-18.   The curly quotes still look curly he noticed.  And ­– then he inserted a dash, directly from the keyboard, and he noticed that the Word program converted the dash like this – to a longer em dash a second after typing it.   Let me put this text up on a Weebly template, he reasoned, and see how the copy and paste function transfers. 
And so, he did it.  

And just above is the copied text;  the em dash copied as shown on his MSWord docx, but not as long as the em dashes in the Benedicty poem above.  So what is the difference? he wondered.
