HHHHmm. In typing I have always used the "same" marks, and for quotes
within quotes I use the 'apostrophe'. So you people have lost me. I kknow
they are different in Braille but I guess I thought they were like I just
indicated in print.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] All quote closed quotes
Interesting, Kellie. I've been working on a book that
also has all quotes closed quotes. The book is rtf; I
don't know what it was scanned in, but I'm checking it
in rtf. I found that I can do a global replace: Even
though I can't see the difference between them when I
put the quotation marks in the Replace and Replace
with, if I put Replace quotation marks before a
capital letter and Replace With quotations marks
before a capital letter, it changes all of them to the
kind of quotation marks that are supposed to be at the
beginning of a quote. I'm using Word 98 and a Mac, so
I don't know if this would work for everyone. The
volume I'm working with has several different books,
which I'm getting one at a time, so now before I start
reading the book I go through the alphabet replacing
the closed quotes.
