If by that you mean that MSWord just does the equivalent of
remapGlyphs but really leaves your original ASCII quote marks in your
document, then I think you've got it wrong. If that were true, there
would probably be nobody working on smart quotes for Abi. The main
source of them today is imports from MSWord, in which they are
persistent.
If you meant something else, I think I'm missing your point (about
MSWord), so please elaborate.
