OT: correct symbol to use

Hi Alan:

Do you mean 1(a) to 1(c)? If so, I would write out the word "to". The "-" 
looks too much like a minus sign, and there's enough of a mix of words, 
numbers, parentheses and letters in there to discourage using another 
symbol that readers have to interpret. If you must use a symbol, I would 
go with the "...". Just my opinion.

Quick off-topic question,

If you have in a line of text something like "to any of 1 (a)-(c)", is 
this
more correctly set as "to any of 1 (a)...(c)"?

Cheers
Alan
