Yutaka,

I have just used this technique to write a snippet/macro that changes curly quotes (single and double), sort and long dashes into their equivalent keyboard characters.

In the past I have had to do this as a series of "Find and Replace" tasks. Now its a simple highlight the text and click on the snippet.

Thank you very much for the tip.

Regards,
Peter
