Easy! Save the XyWrite file as an RTF file. Then in Word, go to
tools/options/autocorrect and turn off the feature that changes typewriter
quotes to "printer" quotes. Then do a search and replace in word. In the search
box insert the regular typewriter quotes, and in the replace box, yep, insert
the regular typewriter quotes.

Cazart!
