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.

OT: correct symbol to use
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
