Damn “smart” quotes in Word

Tech Add comments

Have you been burned by Word working with “smart” quotes?

  1. In Word, go to Tools > AutoCorrect Options.
  2. On the AutoFormat As You Type tab, deselect the “Straight quotes” with “smart quotes” check box.
  3. On the AutoFormat tab, deselect the “Straight quotes” with “smart quotes” check box.
  4. Click OK to accept your changes.
