Word 2007
I have a user with Word 2007, when she opens a document created in Word XP it
changes her quotations in to @ signs. Any ideas? I tried playing with the auto correct features and also deleted the word templates files to create new ones. Nothing works. |

Word 2007
This is a better explanation of my problem. All my open italics are a capital
A, my contractions are an = sign, and my close quotation marks are an @.

Word 2007
My guess is the document originated in WordPerfect, which used the WP
Typographic Symbols font for those characters, as that is exactly the result that you get in such cases. The substitution will affect not only quotes and apostrophes but also dashes. Although installing that font would make the characters appear to be correct, the document would not be portable (other users would still see the symbols incorrectly) and contractions such as "won't" will be marked as misspelled. Your only recourse is to use Replace to replace the existing characters with the correct ones in the Default Paragraph Font. -- Suzanne S.
