Thanks for trying to help with the quotes problem. I can see that Custom
Quotes is the area which should make it happen, but I can't get it to make
the change. If there are any further thoughts, I'll be glad of them. TS

2008/4/20, thomas steel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
The second of my three remaining problems with OpenOffice is this: I
successfully converted my Word files, in which quotations were marked by
single inverted commas. These reproduce correctly when printing from
OpenWord.
There is no such thing as "OpenWord". At least as far as I know. If you
are
referring to the word processor in OpenOffice.-org, it's called Writer and
it has nothing to do with Microsoft Word, more than that both are word
processors.
But any new ones I enter appear on screen and in print as (don't know what
they are called, but little vertical dashes without the comma curl. Can
anyone please tell me how I can prevent this?
Okay, that's an easy one.
Tools → AutoCorrect... → Custom Quotes → Select the quote characters that
you want.
My other problem
Third problem?
is that I like to use a rarish font called Charter. Openword happily
converts documents into this, but obstinately leaves all endnotes
untouched.
I have had to change these one by one (hugely laborious, when some of my
docs have 200 of them. I must be missing a trick here. Will anyone be
kind
enough to help? T. Steel
That's a strange one, I'll leave that one to someone else, since I dont
have
a clue.
