Re: [Marxism] numbers and quotes

["Stuart Lawrence" <stuartlawrence@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

MS Word (and perhaps other word processing software) by default uses
"smart quotes," which are not the same characters as regular quotation
marks. Text posted on the Web may use these characters, along with em
dashes. en dashes, and apostrophes that cause similar problems. If
necessary, pasting into a text editor with a search-and-replace function
first will allow global replacement of the special characters with
ordinary quotes and dashes. For Windows, I recommend TextPad
(www.textpad.com).

All those numbers are supposed to be single and double quotes. There is
no
Stripper for the Macintosh and I believe that there still would have
been
problems had I first pasted the "wilding article" into Word. What I did
was
simply paste the selections from the article into Outlook Express. I've
often had single quotes translate into 1s even when I have spell checked
in
Word. Any suggestions.
