Can someone tell me how to force an apostrophe in Word 2004 Mac? When
I type words that begin with apostrophes (like 'em or not), I get
single, curly LEFT quotes;
Press SHIFT and ALT and ] (that last one is the square close
bracket at the far right of the qwerty row)
Works on my Powebook G4 - and have "curly quotes enabled"
Thanks for that. It is a neatness I did not know.
I'll add a little more, hopefully relevant stuff....
I have used autocorrect and the character palette to solve similar
problems. For instance, to get an uncurly apostrophe, precisely a
"prime", I inserted a Unicode 2032 into Word from the character
palette, selected it, then danced through Tools » Autocorrect, to make
a entry (p) to be replaced by the selected prime character. I did the
same for the Apple command symbol (cmd) and various other useful glyphs
used when writing how-to articles on the care and feeding of
Macintoshes.
The idea of (something memorable) as an autocorrect input was nicked
from a few built-in examples already there, like (c) for © and (tm) for
?, even though there a Mac standard keystrokes for copyright and
trademark. I did the same thing for common fractions too.
