Spellchecker - My stupidity!
Clearly nothing wrong with spellcheck just my stupidity in assigning quote marks in Latex. While two open single quotes are needed - ie `` - the use of is valid for closing quotes. I foolishly thought that the same must apply and was using two closing quotes - ie ' ' without the space. Consequently spellcheck was picking up an apostrophe followed by another and rightly flagged it as nonsense. Geoff
