That behaviour can be changed at Tools → Options for auto correction… → Localised options. If you change the locale to, for instance, Sweden, the default will be ” on both sides, ”like this”, while I guess the US default is “like this”. By the way, I took a look in the UTF-8 character map, and found that the " found on a standard keyboard actually is called ”U+0022 QUOTATION MARK”, so I guess you COULD use it for that, but in public things I guess you should stick with the real ones: ”U+201D RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK” for both sides in some countries, and in some (most?) countries ”U+201C LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK” for left side. I also found these: ′ – ”U+2032 PRIME” ”Alias name: minutes, feet” ″ – ”U+2033 DOUBLE PRIME” ”seconds, inches” So there we have the real inches character, so I was obviously wrong about that. I don't mind being wrong now and then, on the other hand, as long as it's not too often… ;D Kind regards Johnny Rosenberg ジョニー・ローゼンバーグ > > On 17/08/11 10:36 PM, Tom Davies wrote: >> >> Hi :) >> I think there is a single key to produce " marks but a lot of programs >> 'cleverly >> just know' whether they are opening or closing.
