Re: Hidden "speech marks" and entry problems "" Word2007

Thanks Herb - but still no luck.

I checked the settings. Defaults were set at EN US. I've added EN NZ (and
set as defualt) and modified the keyboard settings to US. Still keeps doing
the same thing.

It looks like she has a foreign keyboard (one that uses "dead keys" for
inserting accented characters) enabled. On the task bar, is the language bar
showing? Ordinarily, is has EN (in the US). If it has ES or FR, then this is
the problem. Click the language indicator, and choose EN.

To keep it from happening again... you can either remove the additional
keyboard languages (unless they're needed), or at the very least,
right-click EN and choose Settings, and set all of the hot keys for
switching input languages to None. Otherwise, certain combinations of Shift
and Ctrl can cause this problem to recur... without warning.

Hey there.

I'm the token IT/PC guy at work. One of the girls is having trouble using
"speech marks" or "quotation marks" when she is writing in Word.

If they are inserted as you write, the first set "can be seen, but the
last
set is invisible until you hit enter

Not really a bit problem "", but if she wanted to go back and put speech
marks around the work problem in this sentence, it would end up looking
like
it does now.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Many thanks, David

:: Notes from previous post below ::

Thanks John. I've had a look but that function is allready enabled. I'll
move this across to the PC Word group.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi David:

Look up "Autocorrect" in the Help and go to Word Options>Autocorrect
options>Autoformat as you type... And make sure "Replace straight quotes
with smart quotes" is enabled.

Hope that's it...

If not, re-post your question in the PC Word group, this one is for Mac
Word.

Cheers
