Thanks for the feedback, Lisa and Shannon.

With the sentences I originally sent, Shannon's reader
read them properly but Lisa's Jaws read everything as
apostrophes.

Here are the sentences two different ways. "I'm" and
"grandfather's" should read as apostrophes. There
should be a single quote before"Vivian" and after
"outside."  #1 uses the regular key on my keyboard,
the one udner the double-quote mark. Number 2 uses
that for the apostrophe and the combination of
keystrokes for the single quote.

Please let me know which is better for you. If the
latter is better for most of you, I'll start using
that.

(1)   This is " . . . So I?m not terribly concerned
for you. My grandfather?s got real senility, okay?
Last week he said to me, ?Vivian put the popcorn
outside.?  . . .
