You don't want to change them if they are in fact apostrophes. But if they are opening and closing single quotes, then you might. I've heard that the braille translator knows how to handle those now, but if I encountered those I would probably change them to apostrophes to be on the safe side. Fortunately, my K1000 does not recognize the opening and closing quotes, putting in the apostrophe where they would appear in the book; so I don't need to worry about those, nor the so-called "smart" double quotes either.

The apostrophe is used in words like it's and John's.
I don't think you want to change them.

Hi,
I wasn't aware of the apostrophe; am I supposed to do that one, too? I guess I'll do it from now on. Thanks Evan!

Marty, you're assumption is correct. 0145 and 0146 are the opening and
closing single quotes respectively. Debby, 0039 is the apostrophe.

Hi Debby,
I'm pretty sure the ^0145 and ^0146 are the British single quotes. Truthfully I never checked, I just assumed. LOL!

Hi Marty and everyone!

I have always used the combination of numbers ^0147, ^0148 and ^0034.
I have never even seen the combination ^0145, ^0146 and ^0039. What does the second combination do? Is that for the smart British quotation marks?

Hi Tracy,
     To change smart quotes to regular quotes:
In the find box, type ^0147
In the replace box type ^0034
hit enter. then
In the find box type ^0148
In the replace box type ^0034
hit enter. then
In the find box type ^0145
In the replace box type ^0039
Hit enter. then
In the find box type ^0146
In the replace box type ^0039
Hit enter.
Keep in mind they say we don't have to do this any more as the bookshare tools do it, but I do it anyway. Have a good day!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Smart quotes

Can someone remind me of the code to search and replace to get rid of
smart quotes?  I am using Word 2003, if it matters.  I wrote down how to
turn off smart quotes, but neglected to write down how to get rid of any
that might already exist.
Thanks.
Tracy
