Please excuse me if this has been covered before...

Although I've been using Endnote for years, I just started using Endlink. I
will primarily import Georef references from Silver Platter. All is well
except that Georef uses a liberal sprinkling of hyphens (dashes) in places
that are inappropriate for most bibliographical citations. For example,
Georef commonly (but not always) inserts a hyphen between the Author last
and first names:

Blair-Terence, C.
Clark-Jeffrey, S.
Wells-Stephen, G.

Also; keywords consisting of more than one word are almost always
hyphenated:

clastic-sediments
landform-evolution
Otero-County-New-Mexico

My Question: Is there a way to strip these hyphens during import (or
after). Global replaces in a word processor won;t work, since there are
other hyphens that are needed, and because these problems are not
consistent.
