Bug(?) when trying to get smart quotes instead of straight quotes
When I set my Microsoft Word 2007 application to apply smart (curly)
quotation marks instead of straight quotation marks it does so only for a period of time, after which it starts putting in straight quotes again. Every time I go into 'Word Options'.... 'Auto-Format while you write' options I notice that the checkbox is checked, as it should be, but still the quotation marks aren't being 'smart'! I un-check the checkbox and then re-check it and after that it starts working again... for a while. This is infuriating! I cannot tell what's causing it. I am not closing the application and reopening it again. It seems to be sponteinious. The only thing that could possibly trigger it is me saving my document, perhaps. The worst part about it to see that my preferences are correct, in terms of the checkbox being checked, but are simply not being implemented on the document. What is going on please? If this is a bug, when will it be fixed? If it is not, how can I stop it happening? Many thanks in advance of your suggestions. |

What font are you using? Some fonts don't include the curly-quotes
characters.

I'm using 'Tahoma', which does have curly (or rather, 'slanty') quotation
marks, and they have been apprearing for a while, but the program sometimes reverts to the old straight quotes, even when my preferences remain the same in the 'Options' dialogue box. Thanks for the suggestion, though. |
