Thanks for responding to my cry! I am sure you are right that the solution
to the quotes problem lies somewhere around 'Custom Quotes', but I have
failed totally to make it change anything. As for the Endnotes problem, alas
you don't give me any clue about what to do when I reach
Footnotes--Endnotes. I've been there countless times with no joy. Thanks so
much for trying to help & I'll be glad of any further thoughts on these
probs. TS

The second of my three remaining problems with OpenOffice is this: I

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. I have had to change these one by one (hugely
laborious, when some of my docs have 200 of them. I must be missing a
trick
here. Will anyone be kind enough to help? T. 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.
