Subject: open and close quotation marks


In Word 2003 and 2002, not sure about earlier versions, the grammar
checker flags unbalanced quotes indirectly sometimes when you enable the
"Punctuation required with quotes" option. Tools - Options - Grammar &
Spelling tab - Settings button. This isn't exactly what you want, but it
can help.

I recently converted from WordPerfect to Word. One feature I really miss
is
that WordPerfect could flag a missing close quote during the spell check.
In
other words, if you use an open quote at the beginning of a quote, but
fail
to add a close quote, the program would flag that during spell check.
Word
doesn't seem to do that during the spell check or any other time. Is this
feature available at all in Word?



"Punctuation required with quotes"
Many thanks Herb.

FYI, the option available in 2000 as well.
I do an extensive amount of scanning of older articles. Many of which
include over-inked printing. The scans picks up some of this excessive ink
as single quotes. Hopefully this option will catch those errors.
