I'm betting it's because you are using curly quotation marks and the website
wants plain vanilla ones. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher "Helen" wrote in message ... When I type a document in and copy/paste it to a website, the apostrophes in my document appear as small boxes. How can I stop this from happening? |

The problem is not with quotation marks - it's only with apostrophes. Any
other suggestions would be appreciated.

Same idea - it's curly and not straight.

Thank you for your response JoAnn. I only have one apostrophe on my keyboard
so I don't know what else I can use. If you can provide further assistance, I would appreciate it.

Punctuation in Word 2003
Since it's an existing document, delete out the marks and replace them with
a new one. (It's a setting in Word to automatically replace them with curlies but this computer uses 2007 so the setting may not be the same as yours.) -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher "Helen" wrote in message ...

Punctuation in Word 2003
Hi Helen,
In Word 2003 the option that controls whether Word automatically replaces straight apostrophes (and quotation marks) with curly ones is under Tools/AutoCorrect options/AutoFormat as you type/Replace as you type/"Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" What you can do to "clean" a document of the curlies is to turn that option off temporarily, do a find and replace, and then turn the option on again. (You need to turn the option off before you do the replacement otherwise Word will change the straight versions back to curlies as soon as the replacements are done.) To find and replace the curly apostrophes, bring up the Find and Replace dialog and in the Find what box type [^0145^0146] and in the Replace with box type ^039. Tick the Use wildcards box before clicking Replace or Replace all. To replace curly (double) quotes you can do a find for [^0147^0148] and replace with ^034. Regards.

The trick is that AutoFormat As You Type is fired by the replacement, so you
get a straight or curly apostrophe/quote depending on the setting of that option in AutoFormat As You type. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne,
I suppose it's maybe just a question of viewpoint as to whether the behaviour is a little warped or not. If you think of the curly and straight variants as distinct entities then, on the face of it, it seems a little odd that you can find one of them (the curly) by searching for the other (the straight), but if you think of them as entities that Word "regards" as (for some purposes) the same thing then it's not so odd. Still, given that it works, it's not a problem. Thanks for the information. Regards. Ed "Suzanne S.
