Apostrophe
Hello,
I'm using Word 2002 and when I type in the year as '06 and hit the "space" bar the apostrophe gets reversed. However, when you type in '06 & hit Enter, the apostrophe stays the same. It is difficult to show an example since this newsgroup format is in plain text. How can I get the apostrophe to stay the same every time instead of it reversing? Thanks.... |

Apostrophe
You can enter an apostrophe explicitly by typing Ctrl+', '. That is, press
Ctrl and the apostrophe key simultaneously, release, then press apostrophe again. There are similar shortcuts for an opening single quote and opening and closing double quotes.
