You could try searching for single letters within the text. For example, the
word don't has an apostrophe in it however, if there is only a space, it will
look like don t. If you search for single letters within the document, you can
then place the apostrophe in the proper place.

Hey Shannon,
Yeah, I tried that route and when I converted to .rtf, I still had what
appeared, at least to the screen reader, to be spaces where the apostrophes
should be. Interesting thing is, when I'm in Openbook and I press the
apostrophe key, Openbook says single quote. So I physically had to select an
apostrophe from a word processing document and paste it into the find/replace
dialog box of Openbook. But no, it still didn't seem to work.
Thank you for the idea and I'll be glad to hear any others you might have.

Scott,
I am sorry that I don't have open book so this may not work but have you
tried to do a search for the single quotes and replace them with apostrophes
before converting to rtf?
It may be a long shot. I just thought I would throw it out there.
HTH sorry if not.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] apostrophes and single quotes in openbook
Hey folks,
I posed a question the other day and didn't get any response, so I'm
going to ask something very similar but with a bit of a change. I'm trying to
clean
up a book to be approved, and the book is an Openbook .ark file.
Openbook seems to recognize apostrophes as "single quotes". When I translate
the .ark
file into .rtf per the instructions on Bookshare, the single quotes
disappear, leaving a single space between letters. For example, the word let's
becomes
let s. So, I can't do a find and replace to get things right. How do
I remedy this problem?
