That is it on the nose Tori. The curly quotes and the microns were also driving my scientists batty using the marketing-dictated corporate font. The majority of font did stay w/ the corporate font, but the slight few substitutions were not different enough to cause consternation and by doing so, the document was much smoother to read.
