Thanks to pamfrombalwyn, who provided me with a solution:

Within Pages, Numbers and Keynote you might try looking at Edit > Substitutions and try UNCHECKING 'Smart Dashes'.

Hi Peter,

thanks for the quick response.

It is actually option ; not option .

I am using a German Apple keyboard, where option+. produces the Ellipsis.

You need to tell us what version of Pages and what version of OSX you are using because in recent versions of OSX it is handled by the Auto Substitution in:

Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Keyboard > Text

I am using Pages 5.6.2 on OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.

In the settings you suggested, Auto Substitution is turned off:

The "other apps" would have to be Ms Office because all the Apple Apps and Apps written for OSX now use the System substitution.

Well ... TextEdit for example works correctly and respects the made system settings for auto substitution.

Why are you trying to avoid it? The substitution is correct.

I am editing certain spreadsheet data in Numbers (where the same behavior occurs) where a certain format is very important (where typographic correctness isn't) and this kind of uncontrollable auto substitution increases the amount of work for me massively at the moment.

Best regards

Thanks for testing it on your side.

I am going to use the feedback function to inform the developers.
