how to force a straight quote () ??

2006-02-08 Thread Kevin Pfeiffer
Hi all,

(in a bit of a panic here)

How do I force straight quote marks? As in:   5'-0

I used the Insert - Special Character - Ordinary Quote

... and this worked fine in a simple test doc, but while checking the 
last book proof I discovered that these (which are inside a table) were 
converted to _closing  curly_ quotes (English).

(Help, please?)

-Kevin

Maybe better (\verb is not allowed everywhere): \dq{} in ERT

I have to correct myself: \dq is definded only for (n)german. Better use
\textquotedbl as suggested by the other posters.

String = Streng   ?

i.e. Ctrl+Shift+   ? (well, I guess I could go try this)

Thanks to all who posted!
