I've had similar problems when receiving documents prepared by someone who
has Smart Quotes turned on in Word. If I know the person, I check to see if
they will turn them off.
To fix it, I use the find and replace.

Hail, all ...
To start with my new question, I'd very much appreciate guidance,
please, on putting print page headings into a document originally written
as braille.
My old question, though, is still that of braille punctuation being
mis-translated into print. I can understand the confusion that arises
around oblique strokes and s t signs, but not when it comes to a question
mark, a closing bracket, or a closing quotation mark at the end of a
close-up punctuation string of four or five cells (incorporating an
ellipsis), and with a space after, being translated as "his", double
quote, "were", and "was". I'm finding this a nuisance and three
quarters. As I said previously, yes, I have found a way round it by going
into and then immediately out of computer braille for the offending cells,
but find this so "unnatural" that I keep forgetting to do it when I'm
actually concentrating on the substance of what I'm writing. True, I did
find capitalizing my braille "unnatural" to start with - and may get used
to this. But I shouldn't be having to, should I?
As this is the third time I've written in on the punctuation subject, I'd
be most grateful for help from someone at Pulsedata itself, please.
To save any confusion among fellow list members, though, I should explain
that I'm using a BrailleNote BT 32.
'Bye for now,
John Goddard.
