Ack, OpenWord? It's "Writer" please. It's roots (StarWriter for the Z80 8-bit processor) go back at least as long as Word's (DOS version 1983). That little rant off my chest, I think your quotes problem may be solved by looking at 'Tools' -> 'AutoCorrect' -> 'Custom Quotes' tab and 'Tools' -> 'AutoCorrect' -> 'Options' tab, 'Replace "standard" quotes with "custom" quotes' to get the quotes and behaviour you want. > My other problem is that I like to use a rarish font called Charter. > Openword happily converts documents into this, but obstinately leaves all > endnotes untouched.

Steel For this one try 'Tools' -> 'Footnotes' -> 'Endnotes' tab Adjust styles to your liking. This isn't something I've used myself, so can't offer first-hand experience. Suggest experimenting with a test document to get familiar with how things change.
