Any of mine?  If so, I can check and resubmit.

  Thank you all.  I'm reading the book anyway, so unless someone has another 
suggestion, I'll just keep replacing them.

  Jill, I don't know how to reproduce that space--it isn't a normal space, but 
it isn't a line break either.  I don't know what it is!  I have come across it 
in several books I've downloaded from the collection to read, and I checked to 
see what it said when the words weren't pronounced correctly.  I know there are 
some proofers out there who are ignoring it altogether.

    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.
