Very bizarre. You might try posting in the printingfonts NG.

No change whatsoever - same pc, same printer, no program updates or

software
installations. Only 4 PC networked to this printer and the other 3 people
have not had this problem - just me! Even they cannot change my 2 docs

on
their pcs :-(

Same printer *and* same driver (meaning you haven't updated either the

Thanks to you both, but tried all the above already - tick box for the

curly
apostrophies had always been unticked in the autoformat and replacing

them
with the find and replace does not make a difference as on the screen

they
look like straight brackets anyway, not curled ones (only when

printed).

Still using the same printer as always, but never had this problem

before!

Some printers (including HP LaserJets) will automatically substitute

"curly"
apostrophes for straight ones.

Hi

My word has been set up so that it does not change straight quotes

to
smart
quotes.
I have a number of documents that extensively use the single

quotes or
apostrophes(eg children's books, don't, etc). On screen, they

look
like
"straight" , but when printed (Arial font) they come out as curly
quotation
marks.

Never had this problem before, just the last few documents. Any
suggestions
as to what might have caused this and how to fix it? (PS word had

not
been
reinstalled updated since I started using it, so no change

there...)
