I hope whoever answers your question,, Bob, can explain how to do it on a laptop with no numeric keypad, as well as with the numeric keypad for those who need that. I have found this same problem in one book, and just replaced them one by one. I hope there is an easier way.

I'm validating a Larry McMurtry book "Texas Village" or something like that (memory gets bad). It appears to be a really good scan. Only one problem. All of the apostrophes turn out to be back quotes. Character 827. In Kurzweil I tried to mass change them to ' but Kurzy just deleted them altogether. I did a replace all left back quote to ' and poof away they went. I have both ms word 2000 and Kurzweil 1000v9.5. How can I change those pesky quotes in either program? Thanks.
