Restore your original (you do see original_EPUB in the formats?) by using the right click option
Be sure to disable Smart quotes on the Heuristics section of the CONVERSION screen
Or better yet set a different codepage (CP1252 is a good first shot)

Thanks, coach!
I was opening the files with Open Office. It seemed to default to the Western Europe ASCII 1252. And I couldn't find an option for disabling the smart quotes. I think I was actually making the changes correctly in calibre, but Tweak was really scrambling things badly when I reassembled the exploded books.
So after a few failed efforts I downloaded Sigil, and was able to make the edits I wanted on the first attempt. I will try a couple other books in Sigil over the weekend, and if it works for them I will call this problem solved.
Many thanks for your assistance!
