If you want to replace with curly quotes, then you can find the relevant characters in the Unicode set of General Punctuation (from U+2018 to U+201D). Put this as the replace string in find/replace. If you don't have an input method to get the unicode values in, then insert it once with Insert -> Special Character and cut and paste it into the replace dialog box. You may want to turn off the auto correction by Tools -> Autocorrect -> Custom Quotes to be sure you get what you ask for. -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.
