Hey David, What I’ve said does works :) I made that character style into a GREP style and put it in. When I pick that paragraph style, the apostrophe replaces immediately as I type or when I import type. :) I think it’s the item that says “Glyph Form: Proportional Width Forms” in the screenshot above that’s doing the trick. The alternate apostrophe is a style of the original apostrophe — it just wasn’t easy to figure out how to save it as a style. But the screenshot I’m showing above does work and is replacing the apostrophes everywhere with the alternate. It’s one of the glyphs that appears when you view only “alternates for selection” in the Glyphs panel. I guess those alternates are styles of the original (rather than completely separate characters) if you can get the styles right!

I’m going to check out your other articles above anyway though, as I’ll have other uses. So thanks!
