Problem with apostrophe's and smart quotes. "John... Visio MVP" <lancucki[ at ]stonehenge.ca> 12/4/2008 6:58:14 PM I have a problem with an apostrophe in a numbered style that insists on terminating the apostrophe as a quote string. The style includes text that has a apostrophe. "Chef d'accusation n :". The user chooses the style and types "Reason A", Since next style is the same, the user can type "Reason B<CR>Reason C<CR>Reason D" What is expected is: Chef d'accusation 1 : Reason A Chef d'accusation 2 : Reason B Chef d'accusation 3 : Reason C Chef d'accusation 4 : Reason D What I get is: Chef d'accusation 1 : Reason A' Chef d'accusation 2 : Reason B' Chef d'accusation 3 : Reason C' Chef d'accusation 4 : Reason D' (notice the trailing quote) Turning off smart quotes is not an option I have been given.

Re: Problem with apostrophe's and smart quotes.

Re: Problem with apostrophe's and smart quotes. "John... Visio MVP" <lancucki[ at ]stonehenge.ca> 12/5/2008 12:53:31 PM The problem disappears when smart quotes is turned off, but the strange bit is that the apostrophe is inside the style and the added quote is outside, in the text the user enters.

Re: Problem with apostrophe's and smart quotes. "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> 12/5/2008 7:19:50 PM Yes it is bizarre. If you finish the lines with a Line Break rather than a paragraph return, I expect it won't happen. But that's hardly a solution. What happens if you add D'accusation to the exclusion list?
