I feel like such an idiot. Thanks Axel! =20 > (and everyone else who participated in the thread) Good. Just be careful with =ABReplace All=BB. Say, if I replace all =20 occurrences of `` with opening quotation marks (=93), maybe everything =20= will be fine; but if I then replace all '' with closing quotation =20 marks (=94), double primes will get replaced as well. Also, Windows applications can really mess up your files. I would =20 advise you against using programs such as Notepad (though I *really* =20 don't use and don't know Windows, I have suffered a lot with files =20 coming from Windows apps). Set up Emacs to use UTF-8 and that's it. If you have to use any other =20= app, try to use a reliable editor (for example, with (La)TeX files, =20 TeXworks uses UTF-8 across platforms). Best Axel
