I'm not sure what you mean when you say that the EN+ PIM "doesn't do Smart
Quotes." Can you elaborate? When I have smart quotes turned on in Word and
I format my bibliography I get the correct curly quotes and apostrophes
both in the case where the EndNote bibliographic style calls for quotes and
in the case where there is a quote (or apostrophe) in the reference like
"O'Rourke" or "St. John's Press."

It is true that normal data entry in the EndNote Plus Module or Application
does not have a feature where typing an apostrophe or quote will
automatically give you a curly one -- but it seems unnecessary since Word
will do the right thing when the paper is formatted.

By the way, don't try to be clever like I once did and try to type
option-shift ] to get the apostrophe to be curly in an Irish name like
O'Rourke when you are entering the name into an EndNote author field. It
results in scrambled references where the module is looking for O'Rourke
spelled with a straight apostrophe, especially if the paper has gone
through the process of being converted to/from module citations and text
citations. Let Word do the curly quote work and just type in straight ones.
