Word 2007 and Smart Quotes in comment balloons
Using Word 2007 on XP SP2. Smart Quotes work ok in the body of the document,
but in comment balloons, they are awry. That is, the opening quote will often be aligned at the baseline of the text, and the close quote will be at the normal height. Further, the open quote will be reversed (i.e., it's really a close quote). If I switch to straight quotes, they appear at the correct height above the baseline. I notice that in the document body, the quote marks that are inserted both have the "bump" at the top of the character. In the comments, however, the "bumps" are at the top of the character (kind of like a comma) for the quote mark that's at the baseline, and at the bottom of the character (like an inverted comma) for what's supposed to be the closing quotes marks, and they're flipped horizontally, also. How the double quotes are inserted seems to be dependent on other punctuation in the comment. For instance, if the comment is "... we've been "running" ... " (ignore open and closing quote marks in the preceding) it behaves as I've described it above. If I remove the apostrophe from "we've" however, the open quote before "running" is treated differently. As a shot in the dark, I've tried changing the font, but that made no discernible change in Word behavior. Is this problem reproducible on other systems, or is it something I've done here? Are there quote settings I can tweak that apply only to comments? Thanks for your help. -- Dave Jenkins K5KX |

Word 2007 and Smart Quotes in comment balloons
I don't see this issue. How did you change the font? Did you use direct
formatting or did you modify the Comment Text style? Also, what font are you using? Does it happen on all documents or just a few? Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Word 2007 and Smart Quotes in comment balloons
It exhibits this behavior when I use the default font, or when I modify it by
modifying the Balloon Text style. It ooccurs only when I'm using Smart Quotes, I think. When I start a new, blank document, the error doesn't occur, so I'm guessing it's triggered by some setting withing the doc. The doc. is formatted as a Word 2003 doc, BTW.

Word 2007 and Smart Quotes in comment balloons
Try deleting the Balloon Text style. It won't actually be deleted since it's
a built-in style - instead it will reset the style to the defaults. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Word 2007 and Smart Quotes in comment balloons
I deleted both the Comment Text and Balloon Text styles. I noticed that teh
text did revert to default fonts, etc. However, the insterted double quotes are still showin squirrely. This is a Word 2003 document that I received to work on - might that make any difference? Maybe I'll save it as Word 2007, and then reopen it to see if that makes any difference ... -- Dave Jenkins K5KX "Beth Melton" wrote: Try deleting the Balloon Text style.

Word 2007 and Smart Quotes in comment balloons
That's odd. Yes, I'd see if converting it to the new format resolves the
issue. Note that you can always save it back to the previous version if necessary. Let us know what you find! Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
