In general, it is a bad idea to use global replace to get rid of almost
any junk character. In many books there are a few instances of square
brackets or similar chars. I urge volunteers to avoid editing shortcuts
like mass replacements of single chars, use simple repeated search for the
junk chars and take appropriate action. In some cases this will be
outright removal, in other cases you may need to replace the junk char
with another valid character.
Thanks,

Sue, I agree. I was going to say the same thing.
re your other post: I think in all the validations
I've done there have rarely been brackets. That's why
it's been o.k. for me to use a global replace to get
rid of the ones that are are junk. I used them myself,
though, when I described illustrations. No longer,
however -- now I just use italics.
