Default How to Fix Backward Smart Quote after Em Dash

Hello karmstg,

I found the same thing. What I would do is just create an Auto Correct
entry that replaces €”€œ with €”€. I tried it out and it works fine. To enter
the smart quotes in the Replace/With boxes, just use Ctrl+~ then " or the
opening quote and Ctrl+' then " for the closing quotes. Hope that makes
sense.

I've just switched to MS Word 2007 from WordPro. When I end a sentence of
dialogue with an em dash to show interrupted speech (e.g. €œWe know€”€) the
final quote is the wrong way (i.e an opening quote instead of a closing one).
I've tried inserting a space after the em dash. Same problem. How do I get
Word to realize this should be a closing quote?
