Hi Nancy,
Just because an RTF file with straight quotes is opened in Word does not
mean that these straight quotes will be automatically converted to smart
quotes. Converting from KES to RTF won't change them either. As Cindy said,
whether the quotes are smart or straight in your scanned file depends on how
the OCR engine recognizes them. The Replace box I talked about earlier means
that, if checked, Word would replace a quote that you literally typed on the
keyboard with a smart quote; it wouldn't just do it automatically during the
file open/display process. Uncheck the box if you want to.
In general, though, don't worry about it so much. Just scan your entire
book, then follow your normal editing procedure, and perform the
Find/Replaces to check for smart quotes along with whatever else you do.
Those two Find/Replaces literally take me about a minute, if not less.
HTH,
Maria

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] I'm trying to understand Smart Quotes
If a submitter scans and proofs in KES, then converts the book to RTF
immediately prior to uploading, will that book be infected with Smart Quotes
since it has not come in contact with MSWord?
Thanks,
Nancy
