Lieven, that removal by Excel of apostrophes occurs only when the apostrophe is initial. Excel uses an initial apostrophe to mark a string of characters, distinct from a numerical value. stevo <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=icon> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=link> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Thu, Oct 26, 2017 at 10:45 AM, Lieven <levinius@gmx.de> wrote:

Indeed that can be a problem; When used in Excel, the simple apostrophe will be removed (but still saved), making ['av] look like [av].
In MS word, the search does not make a difference between {'} and {’}, one cannot search for either specifically.
