duplicating apostrophes
hello,
I'm working on a report that uses Word VBA functions. I don't know if this is where the problem lies, but each time I open up the report, all the single and double apostrophes have duplicated so that there are 3 or 4 of them instead of 1, e.g. "He comes in" becomes """"He comes in"""". The replace function won't work because it doesn't recognise the smart quotes, and even when I have gone through and corrected, the next time I open it, the problem reoccurs. Has anyone any idea what this is and how to fix it? TIA, Shivers |

Just a thought - in Microsoft Word Help check "Troubleshoot automatic
formatting", 'Unwanted symbols keep reappearing', if you haven't already checked it. gap "Shivers" wrote: hello, I'm working on a report that uses Word VBA functions.

Not an answer, but in every version of Word I've used, Find/Replace *does*
recognize "smart quote" (both left and right) if you just enter ". -- Suzanne S.
