[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Still something wrong with the keyboard, then. Do you have any other
languages enabled?

I checked the Control Panel and I changed from US-International to US
only,
but still have to add a space after typing the quote. It did help the
problem
of the backward quote, though. Thanks for your reply! Any other
suggestions?

The usual reason for this is that you have enabled an international
keyboard
layout, in which the quote key acts as a "dead key" for accented
letters. If
you press, say, apostrophe, then e, you get é; in order to get an
apostrophe
(or single quote), you have to press the spacebar. The best solution in
your
case is to change the keyboard layout to US or UK, as appropriate. See
Windows Control Panel | Keyboard or Control Panel | Regional Options |
Input
Locales.

When I type in a quote mark, I have to type the quote, then hit the
space
bar before it will show on the screen. Is this fixable, or just the
way
Word
works?
Also, lately, when I type an open quote, it shows as a close quote
unless
I
put two spaces before the quote. Then I have to go back and delete the
extra
space. Is there a tool I can use to fix this problem?
