What's more you can press a hotkey to update a document automatically to switch between curly and straight quotes.

You can also set your compile preferences to switch between straight and curly quotes and em- and normal dashes, so that for some purposes you can export with them and for others without.

Graham, Scrivener sounded good. It just sounded like much more than I needed. But you're convincing me it might be good for me, and I'm going to check it out. Thanks very much.
