Hi Kathy,
I have a book with the same problem. I am just replacing them manually,
because I am reading the book through anyway. However, this is easier with
a Braille display than it would be with speech. The trouble with doing a
find and replace is that not all of the words that need an apostrophe have a
blank space, at least, not in the book I am doing.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Question.
I wonder if any of you can tell me why, in some books, everywhere there
should be an apostrophe, a blank appears. However, this isn't a line blank.
The speech doesn't say "blank" and it won't call it anything at all--even
when you try to spell the word. It only shows the letters before the blank.
The only thing that says anything different at all is when you check the
font. It says something like WP Multinational A something--I can't
understand the last word. Anyway, I don't know what to do without replacing
each occurrence individually. I have no idea what to put in the find box.
I tried to copy and paste it, but the computer kept saying "nothing
selected". I don't know what to do besides replacing each apostrophe
individually, which is less than desirable, of course, but I have already
done that on twenty pages of the book, and it is filled with contractions!
If anyone knows what to do, I would appreciate some advice!
The first time I got hold of a book like that, I released it because I
didn't want to take on something that tedious. The next time, I slogged
through, replacing each apostrophe. I've already had this book an
unconscionable time, and just keep doing other books ahead of it because I
dread it, but I do want to do it, so have finally started.
