smart apostrophes?
On the AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools | AutoCorrect Options, check the
box for "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" and then type ' in both the "Find what" and "Replace with" boxes of the Replace dialog. The AutoCorrection will be performed when the replacement is made. Alternatively, if this option is selected on the AutoFormat (not AutoFormat As You Type) tab, you can manually run Format | AutoFormat to make the substitution. -- Suzanne S.

The best way to convert them is to run autocorrect with the smart quotes
option set, however replace ' with ^0146 (though this will find all single quotes.) -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org lab tutor wrote: A student in my lab needs to know the criteria to put into the find and replace box for replacing straight apostrophes to smart apostrophes.
