The combination of Word and JAWS does not give any indication that those
quotes and apostrophes are anything out of the ordinary, so don't expect to
know if you were successful with your find and replace operation. I hope
that option in the auto-Text menu that says "Replace quotes with smart
quotes" doesn't basically mean the same dumb quotes, but it shouldn't since
i haven't noticed weirdness coming from Word files I've created. I only
see if their are unusual characters if files are opened with Kurzweil or my
braille note.
If it is any comfort I have recently gotten, what I assume was scanned
material from some other sources and Open Book is certainly not the only
program to create undesirable punctuation marks, and in addition you get
some weird line break paterns. That just goes to show that we mostly use
high quality software and are better at turning out consistent nicely
presented material.

Yes you'd need to do the find/replace in another word processor, because if you write a quotation mark or apostrophe in Open Book, they still come out as close quotes, etc.
