First: Copy and paste the recurring element into your find/replace window.I think the issue here can be resolved with a find/replace of your problem glyph – ID allows for you to replace something with "typographer's quotes" which is what it looks like you want. You can replace with "typographers quotations" from one of the small flyout menus from the find/replace pallette.
Let me know if this helps.
Second: take a screenshot of your find/replace window and post it here because you might have a checkbox or something else strange marked off that shouldn't be.

Hm, that IS odd.
If it's trying to tell you that the weird "D" is actually an apostrophe, then what I would do is change all of the apostrophe D's to another typeface in the family and then change it back to see if it's just some weird thing that will be quickly corrected by a switcheroo.
Here's the flyout menu I was talking about earlier.
Use ID's flyout menu in the find/change window to insert your apostrophe's.
Let me know if that does anything for you.
(I'd try it with the typeface you're using to see if it's an issue with that face in particular, but I don't have it. I used whitney instead)

well the changing the font option didnt went well.
The flyout menu option for find/change didnt worked.SO, I changed all the "corpid caps" in my document for a true Type version on the font. Worked. (wish I had the Open type one)
Thanks alot for the help and now I have to find a way to bill the last 3 1/2 hours to my client.
