if there is a "-" symbol in the path of a file, the "insert file" function will break the path apart

Hi, Cattrace. See picture below. I see in your picture that only the portion of the filename before the hyphen was included in the hyperlink. When I tried it, the entire filename was included in the hyperlink; I was unable to reproduce the problem which you saw. Just a wild guess - the problem happened not just at a hyphen but also at the boundary between characters from a single-byte character set (SBCS) and characters which require double-byte characters (DBCS), which in turn requires that the filename/path be enclosed in double-quotes. Question: If you were to create a filename/path which contained no hyphen but which still started our SBCS and then switched to DBCS, enclosed as yours is in doublequotes, would the problem still occur?
