Dear Kate, The .txt version of the Online Manual for Keysoft 7 didn't have the same structure as the one for Keysoft 6. Keysoft 6.2 manual had the command followed by a colon then the command keystroke. The Keysoft 7 manual has the command followed by a colon with nothing after it. Further in the document are the keystrokes. The keystrokes are NOT after the command. I checked it with both my PC and the BN and the manuals read the same way in both machines. Some of the commands in chapter 19 are written like those in the 6.2 manual but others aren't. I downoaded both the QT text manual and the BT text manual and they read the same way. I didn't download the .pdf files, just the .txt files.
Although I'm not a Word expert and I can't stand Word, I did learn how to turn off smart quotes. It's in the format menu. Uncheck the box "use smart quotes." Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
