AutoFormat not working in Word 2007 in Windows 7
I have just installed the Office 2007 suite on Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit
edition. Almost everything works well, but I noticed that when I type quotes, Word 2007 is not automatically converting them from straight quotes to curly quotes. I have went into the Word Options and tried the setting both ways, but it makes no difference. I have made absolutely no changes to this installation, and this problem does not occur on my Windows Vista and Windows XP machines. The computer is virus-free (I have an antivirus solution running, I don't go to shady sites to begin with, and I am currently running on a standard user account to prevent unwanted changes). I have all the currents Windows 7 and Office 2007 updates, as of January 8, 2010. |

AutoFormat not working in Word 2007 in Windows 7
Hi Jason,
I very much doubt that Windows 7 or 64-bit has anything to do with it, as I have exactly the same setup and my straight-to-curly quotes autoformat does work. The first thing to check is that you set the option on the "AutoFormat As You Type" tab of the Options dialog, not on the "AutoFormat" tab. Another possibility is that you're using a font whose curly quotes look almost the same as the straight quotes; some of the newer ones, such as Calibri, are like that. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
