open and close quotation marks
I recently converted from WordPerfect to Word. One feature I really miss is
that WordPerfect could flag a missing close quote during the spell check. In other words, if you use an open quote at the beginning of a quote, but fail to add a close quote, the program would flag that during spell check. Word doesn't seem to do that during the spell check or any other time. Is this feature available at all in Word? |

In Word 2003 and 2002, not sure about earlier versions, the grammar checker
flags unbalanced quotes indirectly sometimes when you enable the "Punctuation required with quotes" option. Tools - Options - Grammar & Spelling tab - Settings button. This isn't exactly what you want, but it can help. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "meta4" wrote in message ...

FYI, the option available in 2000 as well. I do an extensive amount of scanning of older articles. Many of which include over-inked printing. The scans picks up some of this excessive ink as single quotes. Hopefully this option will catch those errors. |
