Yes, MS Word converts double hyphens to an emdash. There's also an endash. I forget the difference in when to use them, but I THINK bother are different from a hyphen? I don't know. I read all about it a good while back, but all I recall is that they are (probably) different.
- hyphen
– endash
— emdash
