Original problem ... Pasting my html coding from MSWord 2000 into the GeoCities editor results in the "wrong" kind of quotes; this is a relatively new problem (so I just type in the "correct" quote, whatever that is, manually). And when you think of the number of quote marks on an html page, that can be a lot of typing (or individual pasting). This quote glitch is a real nuisance. In the editor I'll see the quotes look like two tiny parallel lines slanted when the editor prefers to see those curly quote marks; I can't figure that out.

To turn this feature on or off: <snip> I'll fool around with that Tools menu > AutoCorrect > AutoFormat As You Type, window (that you suggested, and like I needed another challenge in my life). And I promise to again try 1st Page 2000. Isn't it strange how I quickly reverted to some system I always used and which keeps causing one problem or another. Isn't it that way in life? It's not easy to change direction when you take the wrong first step. That's right, old habits die hard and what's that you said, "old dogs and new tricks"? ...
