OK, here's a follow-up: I'm going through this document more than a year
after I wrote it and I suddenly realize why I'm having this problem with
non-smart apostrophes: I HAD to turn smart quotes off because my text,
which is very technical, includes terms that contain the "prime" symbol,
which is a tic or non-smart apostrophe.

So I guess now I'm stuck. I'm not changing the primes to apostrophes.

Oh well.

Tim

To you Richard, and to Fred: Completely forgot about that, thank you. I
have spell checked this document and those didn't turn up so obviously I
had the option turned off.

Nadine, didn't think about that either. I did look for ideas about a
special combination of keys that would represent a standard apostrophe,
like backslash-something.

Thank you,
Tim

A spell check can fix those for you. In the Spelling Checker dialog,
click Options. In the Options dialog, make sure Find Straight Quotes is
selected. FM will offer to replace each straight quote with the
appropriate curly quote.
