I assume you are the proofreader; have you tried to contact the submitter. It
may be important to know what was used to scan the book. Have you tried putting
question marks around a space in the find box and putting an apostrophe
surrounded with question marks in the replace box? I have never seen this in a
book that I am proofreading.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Question.
I wonder if any of you can tell me why, in some books, everywhere there
should be an apostrophe, a blank appears. However, this isn't a line blank.
The speech doesn't say "blank" and it won't call it anything at all--even when
you try to spell the word. It only shows the letters before the blank. The
only thing that says anything different at all is when you check the font. It
says something like WP Multinational A something--I can't understand the last
word. Anyway, I don't know what to do without replacing each occurrence
individually. I have no idea what to put in the find box. I tried to copy and
paste it, but the computer kept saying "nothing selected". I don't know what
to do besides replacing each apostrophe individually, which is less than
desirable, of course, but I have already done that on twenty pages of the book,
and it is filled with contractions! If anyone knows what to do, I would
appreciate some advice!
The first time I got hold of a book like that, I released it because I didn't
want to take on something that tedious. The next time, I slogged through,
replacing each apostrophe. I've already had this book an unconscionable time,
and just keep doing other books ahead of it because I dread it, but I do want
to do it, so have finally started.
