I picked up a program off of Delphi called Macify. It does the paragraph
cleanup, converts '--' to em-dashes, handles typeset quotes and double
quotes, and all sorts of other things. Prior to this I'd had my own LSC
application that did some of it, and I did the rest with search/replace in
Word. It's wonderful. if there is enough interest, I'll send it to
comp.binaries.mac.
