Hi, Lindsey. Yes, I do that sometimes, not always (it depends on how “ugly” the source document is). It requires a secret Ctrl-Z trick (or the Insert > Symbols menu) to force an apostrophe in Word so writers tend not to do it (or certainly not consistently). I don’t think “Use Typographer’s Quotes” can sort that out.
