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 sentance, it would end up looking like
it does now.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Many thanks, David

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

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.
