Sorry, I expressed that badly! The point I really wanted to make is that if, for any reason, you need to put a normal " on its own (as I just did ... ) then it will put the opening \[Bq] and closing [lq] out of phase. Probably this is a rare need, but if it arises you could opt briefly out of smartquotes using the "./smartq" macro I gave, do whatever it is that needs ", and then reinstate smartquotes. For example: ./smartq if, for any reason, you need to put a normal " on its own .smartq .... > They should match ... > > I'll try this in order to see whether I can get used to it, > it is easier to type. > > Axel Best wishes, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 094 0861 Date: 21-Aug-07 Time: 22:37:50 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------
