I couldn't use the "replace all" option in word since it seemed that word could only process the fancy apostrophes. I found the "file" tab in microsoft word and it was located next to the apple icon on my screen, not in the word document window.

For some reason MS-Word replaces regular single and double quotes that you type on your keyboard with what they call fancy quotes by default. You can find one of those quotes in your file in CLAN and replace it with regular single quote like this one<font color="#ff2600"> '</font>. Or you can use CHSTRING to do the same on all files. Just make sure to use <font color="#ff2600">-w</font> option with CHSTRING when doing it. I don't know which exactly fancy single quote you have in your file, because there are several of them, so I can't give an exact example.<div><br></div><div>
I am curious about your Word not having a "File" menu. I have never heard that before. What kind of version of Word do you have?</div><div><br><br>Leonid.

However, when I run check command on my files, it always tells me there's a problem with the apostrophes in each line. I have attached a screenshot of the output.

After that you can try installing the latest version of CLAN on your Mac or sent to me directly the data file that crushes CLAN when you run CHECK and I will try to diagnose the problem.
