I am writing a research proposal involving Asperger's syndrome. I have
typographer's quotes turned on, and they work perfectly in all cases,
except when "Asperger's" goes into the word completion list. If I let
it auto-complete it will come out with an "inch-mark" instead of a
typographer's apostrophe. Then I go into Tools > Autocorrect > Word
completion and I find the word has been added twice. I delete one of
them and it starts working correctly. A few paragraphs later it starts
using the inch mark again, I go into Tools > Autocorrect > Word
completion and, sure enough, there are two entries again. This time I
delete them both. For a while I get no word completion, but then
suddenly it starts to auto-complete the term and, once more, it uses
the inch mark. I go into Tools > Autocorrect > Word completion and,
sure enough, there are now two entries again.
I have word completion set to 1,000 words. Scanning through the list I
see no other examples of words with an apostrophe.
I am afraid that I am going to miss one of the inch marks. The project
I am working on is like a dissertation, where it doesn't matter what
you say as long as your formatting is perfect. (If you have ever done a
dissertation, you will know what I mean.) Is there any way to make it
stop storing "Asperger's"?
A quick test suggests that AutoText preserves the correct
apostrophe. Can you create an AutoText entry for "Asperger's" and
train yourself to type (say) "as" and F3 when you need it?
I trust this helps.
