Hi Arthur: It would be very difficult because it depends on the particular font you are using and some do not support the two types of quotes. In addition, it would be difficult to manage the correct replacing of forward and backward quotes. Word handles some of these issues by imbedding the actual font tables in the document. I would try and scan through an actual document that has the appropriate quotes marks, save the numeric values. Then use these quote mark constants, build a class that opens and edit the newly created document's vertical quotes. If it sounds a little too labour intensive some other bright individual from the list may have a better solution. HTH Jim PS I have a class that reads any size of document and of course is not designed for replacing quotes but with a little ingenuity.... -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Arthur Fuller Sent: Monday, August 23, 2004 9:13 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: [AccessD] Apostrophes and Quotation Marks in Access Is there any way to replace the straight-vertical apostrophes and quotation marks that Access uses with the curly ones that Word uses? I've tried to export a report in Times Roman to Word and they come in vertical. Yet when I type within that document I get the curly variety? Obviously the ANSI codes are different, so a wildcard find-and-replace could do it, if I could figure out how to tell Word to perform that kind of find-and-replace. Does anyone know how to do that in Word?
