Hi Bob,
Try, maybe, the find and replace again, but, first, copy the
character to the clipboard first. Paste it into the find box. Type
apostrophe into the replace box. See if that works. Sometimes just
selecting the character won't work and I have to ppaste it into the find
box. I very often have to replace improper quotation marks in submissions
of folks scanning with open book. Their quotes look like some weird kind
of
closing quote universally. And in Word, they translate to smart quotes
which play terrible havoc with the daisy file.
Good luck.
Mayrie

Ok. 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.
Bob
