Good idea, Netta. Considering the mess that might result from trying to remove
some, but not all, apostrophes, spending a little more time sounds like the
best thing to do!
By the way, the apostrophe and the Englist single-quote aren't quite the same
thing, but the word processors see them as such. In this case, this has
nothing to do with British English--the scan just put in apostrophes (single
quotes) where doubles were needed. This explanation is for Roger.

Hey Sandy;
I just decided to continue proofing the book where I am at, chapter 12, I
believe and will go back to the beginning and just check by line where
instances of the apostrophe may be located. This way I won't remove apostrophes
where they actually should be. Although this method is tedious it is the only
way that I can see that won't cause a even bigger mess. I'll try the other
suggestions on another "dummy" BookShare document that I have in my possession.
The chapters are rather short, 10-12 pages or so, so it isn't that bad.
