A simpler solution is to open that document *in the program that created it* and choose
"save as" and select "text." This converts the characters to
unadorned text (quotes are simply " and apostraphes are simply ' ); it works for
PageMaker, MS Word, etc.

I left Quercus a note about finding boxes with a hex
editor. I use khexedit
on Linux, but he's obviously not using Linux. Can you recommend a hex editor
for him?
