"words" within quotations, smart quotes v double quotes

[Mark Swindell]

"How are you?" is considered a single word by Rev.

How are you?  is considered three words by Rev.

Working with text dialog, how would one get Rev to respond to _"How_  
as the first of three words, _are_ as the second, and _you?"_ as the  
third?  I'm thinking I want to change the double quotes for "smart  
quotes" or curved quotes before acting on the text, but how is that  
handled by Rev?

Thanks,
Mark
