Thanks Agustin! I actually did try copying and pasting from the script text, but oddly, I was unable to highlight text within the script and copy it as I had in versions past. I'm glad you mentioned this, because I remember using this technique before. Somehow, this functionality seems to have gone away, or maybe Symphony was just being as cranky as I was.
I also have the raw transcripts that were used to make the script file, so I suppose I could copy those over to the edit system, and try copy/pasting from Word to the Find window. Worth a try.
Best,
Shirley

Have you tried copying from script text add pasting in search box, that way the
apostrophe should be the same. If Avid finds nothing then I believe you found
something to be fixed.
If it's worth the effort you could open your scripts with a text editor and
search and replace all your "20's" for
"twenties", just a thought.
Agustin.

That would make sense, and I suspected as much. Except how do I type the
different types of apostrophes? I only see on character for that on my keyboard.

beside that, there are multiple apostrophes (well, they are different but
look alike, and have of course different char codes.
I highly suspect the problem to lie there.
