  Help With Microsoft Word Quotation Marks

Sick of those dreadful boxes? Tired of having to correct them?

Well here's your salvation:

Microsoft Word automatically changes straight quotation marks ( ' or " ) to curly (smart or typographer's) quotes (  or  ) as you type.

To turn this feature on or off:

On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options, and then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
Under Replace as you type, select or clear the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box.
Note  You can find and replace all instances of single or double curly quotes with straight quotes in your document. To do this, clear the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box on the AutoFormat As You Type tab. On the Edit menu, click Replace. In both the Find what and Replace with boxes, type ' or ", and then click Find Next or Replace All.

To replace all straight quotes with curly quotes, select the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box, and repeat the find and replace procedure.



Sticky?

It was a mix of actual and sarcasm, Yillis. Don't worry, though. I'm usually like that.

Can't you also put in Arial or something and it just keep them the way they are?  I've never tried it but Darius was telling me about a font where it just didn't bother with any of the extra little boxes....
