Re: Re: Re: Curly quotes
by Past Member 'northernwrites'
I used Chrome, and I copy/pasted the Times Roman curly quotes from a WordPerfect document. The straight quotes I typed in on the site. I get the same results with Firefox.


If you're using Word, there's an automatic smart quotes setting in Word that changes curly quotes to straight quotes. I don't know if it changes them in the original documents on your computer or just in exporting them elsewhere. This article is for Word 2003 --

Otherwise, maybe look for a setting in your browser?




Hope that helps,
