Cannot type parentheses in Word
When I am writing a document in Word 2003 and I which to put quotation marks
at the beginning, all I get is two dots above the first letter in the quote. How can I change the settings so that when I type quotation marks I get quotation marks? |

Cannot type parentheses in Word
I'm not sure where the parentheses you mention in the subject line fall in
but as far as you quotation marks go, I'd suggest looking at your paragraph spacing to start with. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Allan Fullerton" Allan wrote in message ...

Cannot type quotes in Word
With English regional settings/ keyboard layout it is quite difficult to
accidentally type a letter (a vowel) with two dots over it (CTRL+SHIFT+; then the letter), so the implications are that you have a non-English keyboard layout configured in Windows, or you have some form of unwanted autocorrect entry. My guess is the former. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Allan Fullerton wrote: When I am writing a document in Word 2003 and I which to put quotation marks at the beginning, all I get is two dots above the first letter in the quote.

Cannot type quotes in Word
so the implications are that you have a non-English
keyboard layout configured in Windows I'll second that - but if you have you will see the same behaviour in all applications, not just Word. Perhaps you are set to use a "United States International" keyboard. If you want to keep some of the features of the keyboard you can get the double quote from it by pressing space after the quote. What happens is that the keypress (similarly single quote, caret, tilde, etc.) is remembered until you press another key at which time a decision can be made as to what you actually intended to input. If you follow the double quote with a letter which can have a diaeresis, a vowel (which is presumably what you are doing), then you will get the vowel with the diaeresis; if you follow it with most other characters you will get the double quote followed by the character (and so need do nothing special) but if you follow it with a space you'll just get the double quote (if you want a double quote followed by a space you have to press the spacebar a second time). -- Enjoy, Tony "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...
