I'll try that. It is the shift apostrophe that I used.
I was surprised that, although they looked the same in
the Replace, they were open in the file.  So I think
you're saying that in the file all quotes will convert
to open or closed depending on the punctuation.
Amazing things, these computers. I definitely will try
that the next time, and for the apostrophe, too, which
sometimes has been facing the wrong way.
