Hi: I have a related question. I have a book someone turned from a PDF into a text edit. It is an excellent book. But, all the apostrophes, quotation marks, and some other weird markings make it kind rough reading. I went through actually word by word, I'm embarrassed to say, and fixed most of one chapter. I have since decided there were much better ways to spend my time. Anyone know what makes an apostrophe turn into "i-circomflex,' and a quote into "I-with-combining-grave accent"? (other than too much baccarty:)? aAnyone know of an easier way to make corrections? Thanks for any suggestions.
