This has always bothered me. Guido you wrote: Change twin occurrences of single quotes to a regular quotation mark. Once you have done that you can do a mass replacement of remaining single quotes to apostrophes. First how would you find twin occurances of single quotes? Second, how are they different than regular quotes? What are the keyboard equivalents? How do I tell the difference? I've always been confused by quotes issues, and have not done anything with them because of this confusion. Sharon
