Is it possible? Unfortunately, this is not possible right now. The only way would be to do the replacement on the plain text you got from word with any good text editor. JMarc ---End forward I'm moving forever from MSW and Word and I make a lot of type writing too. I use 'wordview' from V.B.Wagner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -I don't remember the site but I found it searching "word+processor+filter+linux" or something like that. Wordview picks your *.doc files and outputs to plain ascii. Indeed it gets straight quotes. Sorry. Abel
