Sorry, I should have known. I can see what the problem is though it's because it can't check for opening and closing '. What would happen, in this case only, if you replaced the ' with curly variety I wonder. Probably nothing because if you didn't use "�" and you shouldn't I guess if you don't want the darn things misread by errant PC mail readers. Not to mention that you'd have to remember it each time. :-) (the font I'm currently using makes very little visual distinction between regular and curly quotes.)
