Hi there, milaaaa​, let's see what we can find about this together!

I just tested this on my end, and it looks like the feature worked the way it was intended to. 

However, keep in mind that when it came to replacing the "-" with a blank space, I actually had to press space on the "Replace with" window. Is it safe to assume you're trying the same thing? 

I'm asking because you'd need to use something in the "Replace with" window in order for this to work. Leaving it blank indeed doesn't allow you to make the change.

If you use a space to change the dash symbol on your Paper documents, does it work? If not,  then could you use an entirely different browser, or incognito tab in order to see if the behavior remains the same there? 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
