I tried the plain text thing. I wrote some stuff in Word, then saved as plain text. When I opened it in Sigil it had little boxes where the apostrophes were. Was I missing something? (It looked cool and very simple--and I like that.)

I like what you said about nothing being added to 2003 Word relevant to writing an ebook. I didn't notice any real limitations using it. I just figured with all this new stuff out here maybe I'm missing the boat somehow.

Thanks for the feedback.
