Thanks David,
I looked through the choices and was hoping to find something similar
to the smart quotes option - I just didn't think switch it off and try
it again.
I wondered about mapping it to another character, but there is a whole
load of text files to go through so I was looking for a swift option.
I didn't think that it would be hard-coded into OPro, but I couldn't
find any settings. The charts are Fair Isle knitting motifs,
transcribed from 1920s and 1930s sweaters in the Shetland Museum
Archive - another book I'm working on. I need to print out all the
transcribed charts so I can study them and work out writing an app to
decode them in colour drawfile graphics.
Gavin.
