Word 2003 Smart Quotes Issue
Wrong Smartquote displayed after newline
In a new document type the following: Fooshift-enter "Bar" The first quote ends up as a closing quote after you type it, and seems to stay like that (even after save and re-open). ver 11.5604.5606 Not that critical obviously, I can just insert the line break after I type "Bar". |

Word 2003 Smart Quotes Issue
After more fiddling, behaviour for "smart" quotes seems to be just based on
whitespace, with the linebreak (shift-enter), probably incorrectly not being treated as whitespace.

Word 2003 Smart Quotes Issue
I agree that this is annoying. Word often gets quotes wrong after dashes as
well. You can insert the quotes manually using the built-in keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+', " for closing double quote, Ctrl+`, " for opening double quote). -- Suzanne S.

I tried this in Word 11.6568.6568. That version does the quotes correctly.

Hmmm. I cant see any updates here (via SUS).
Probably some corporate policy bs. Oh well, no need to rock the boat :/ "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: I'm seeing that here, too. -- Suzanne S.

Word 2003 Smart Quotes Issue
Ah, you're making me reminisce to my corporate days, with the
floor-to-ceiling BS: -------------------- One thing that was emblematic was a type of screensaver that possessed all the PC's. It would abruptly fire into activity ... not when the machine was idle, but while one was in the midst of typing. This seemed to be beyond the control of the PC's own user because (as in many U.S. firms) PC's were centrally controlled by some admin group and developers could not configure their own machines. Developers lived with it, since it was easier than dealing with the bureaucracy. (excerpted from http://urielw.com/corp/8.htm ) -------------------- "Mark Churchill" wrote in message ... Hmmm.
