So it looks like the problem is not related to the quotation at the top of the poem.

@Toxaris - Shortly after you added the Mark Words feature I recall getting a problem if I had 'colour marked' words in the text when I started Dialogue Check.

I can't recall all the symptoms: the <> replacements for single quotes weren't removed, and the View wasn't returned to Print Layout. Rather than trying to fix manually, I restored the previous day's version of the DOCX from nightly backup.

I did not do any tests to confirm the 'colour marks' were the source of the problem - but when I ran DC on the restored text after clearing the 'colour marks' I didn't have the problem. It has only happened once, because I now clear any residual 'colour marks' before I run Dialogue Check, I have a macro to do it, and it's in my copy edit checklist. I use DC towards the end of my copy edit workflow, by then any residual 'colour marks' should have long gone.
