Word 2007 'Smart' quotation marks being dumb...help!
Dear all,
I am having problems in Word 2007 with 'smart' quotation marks. (The correct terminology might be a problem for me, but here goes...). When typing, I use both the single and double quotation marks (depending on where I am submitting my manuscripts), but for some reason Word has started to show the first/opening quotation marks like this: ,example1' ,,example2'' whereas I nedd them like they always used to be, like this: 'example1' "example2". (Note that although they are straight in this posting, but in Word it does alter them to the 'curly' type, but with the first at a subscript level). I have the autocorrect option for smartquotes selected, and my keyboard is set to the right language. Any advice would be greatly appreciated...I'm sure it may be something very simple, but I can't spot it!! Many thanks in advance, Tony. |

The keyboard language isn't the only one you have to set properly. Read http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/LangFmt.htm for further instructions. In Word 2007, the equivalent of the menu item Tools Language Set Language is on the Review ribbon (an unlabeled button in the Proofing group). The keyboard autodetect setting doesn't exist (it wasn't in Word 2003, either). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
