Ahem, thanks Christina Roger and Mayrie for the heads up.I forgot about the Brits. As weird as it might seem, they really don't cross my thinking processes until the third cup of coffee.
Besides, isn't it more fun to come up with an elaborate solution that doesn't work than to give it a little thought and do nothing?

I thought we were supposed to leave British punctuation as is too.

Opening quotes are neither preceded by or followed by a space, so you'd only be changing the opening quotes thatare the second part of a speech by one person. Besides, aren't we supposedto leave British punctuation alone? You'd have to do what you say and add the paragraph mark followed by an apostrophe and replace it with a paragraph mark followed by a quotationmark. And do the same thng with the apostrophe first and the paragraph marksecond. But still, I thought we were supposed to leave that British punctuation alone.

The first one would change a space followed by an apostrophe to a space followed by a quote. The second would change an apostrophe followed by a space to a quote followed by a space. I think that'd work. Bob "We know the future will outlast all of us, but I believe that all of us will live on in the future we make," Senator Edward M.

I noticed that all of the quotes were apostrophes. Is there a secret to changing this? I checked for the ^0147 and ^0148 and that didn't work. I thought about searching and replacing apostrophes, but realize that may create spacing errors, etc. Lori ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cindy" <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 8:39 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Submitted "The Castle of Adventure"Thanks for letting me know about "The.

I noticed that the database wanted to leave out the "the" so put it back in as it is on the title page. We are supposed to keep the "the" when submitting, right? i bet I could have missed that in "The Island of Adventure" but all these in the series should have the article. Perhaps if i missed it there's a way to fix it? I am not thrilled with this database and should have mentioned that in my survey form but it has come home to me more strongly now. They put publishing dates instead of copyright dates, get the publisher somewhat wrong, and you end up editing what you could have just put in yourself. Almost feel tempted to leave out the ISBN altogether except that sometimes the database does provide a synopsis which will work. Sorry I went off on a tangent, but anyhow the book's ready, so thanks and enjoy.
