Also, if you just do a spell-check, won't the word part of the single letter
show up as an error and you can fix
the words that way? In Lisa's example, don and t should show up as spelling
errors.

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.

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.
