Have you tried the "Paste as formatted string" option in the Edit menu
of the Script editor menus?
If you type (in a field or the message box or in a text document):
She said, "I do."
select it, copy it and then use the special paste command, you get this:
"She said, " & quote & "I do." & quote & "
This actually causes a problem because it puts an extra unbalanced " on
the end, but with very minor editing, it saves a lot of typing. If your
original sentence doesn't end in a quote, I think you will find it
works perfectly.
Cheers,
Sarah
