Quotation Marks in Word
Microsoft Word automatically changes straight quotation marks ( ' or " ) to
curly (smart or typographer's) quotes ( or ) as you type. To turn this feature on or off: On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options, and then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab. Under Replace as you type, select or clear the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box. Note You can find and replace all instances of single or double curly quotes with straight quotes in your document. To do this, clear the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box on the AutoFormat As You Type tab. On the Edit menu, click Replace. In both the Find what and Replace with boxes, type ' or ", and then click Find Next or Replace All. To replace all straight quotes with curly quotes, select the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box, and repeat the find and replace procedure. This information is from the Help menu in MS Word. -- Carol A. Bratt, MCP "TinleyParkILGal" wrote: Help!

Quotation Marks in Word
This will keep you from having "smart quotes," but it doesn't address the
specific issue that you're getting the wrong kind of smart quotes, and that results from having the wrong language selected. In English, you should be getting what are called "6 and 9" quotation marks. That is, the opening quotes are curved like an opening parenthesis, with a dot at the bottom, and the closing quotes are curved like a closing parenthesis, with a dot at the top, but both characters are raised--neither appears at the text baseline. The low quotation marks are used in some other languages. -- Suzanne S.
