Hi John, There are workarounds for this. BTW not a "stupid N00b Question" at all. :) 1? As much as possible, try editing in OpenOffice. As Riku points it in its answer, there is a nice filter that allows to directly import .sxw files into Scribus. Most if not all special glyphs will follow, including opening/closing quotes and apostrophe. 2? While the search/substitute feature can be applied to only one text frame at a time (or maybe it can do more now, didn't test 1.2.2 stable!) it remembers the last settings. So it is not so clumsy doing a systematic search/substitute in a short time frame (unless you have a very large amount of frames of course) over an entire document. 3? As Adrianna points it, a script would help doing that, if you need to edit further down the workflow. Craig Ringer is even more specific on this. I am confident it will lead to a nice feature in the future. 4? I wonder if the feature "Short Words" could be used for that kind of automatic substitution. As this is already implemented, it might be a better (or faster) option to futher enhance it instead of writing or editing a script. Any thoughts?
