Word v X. latest service release. Mac OS 10.2.6 Within a split second of typing a " the " morphs and becomes either << or >> depending on which way the quotation marks would ordinarily "lean." I suspect I've somehow triggered Peruvian or Botswanan quotation marks, but don't know how I did it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. -antrobus

- 1. Defect in word 2007 to Word 2003 converter
I have recently run into an issue with the .docx to .doc converter in word 2003. I was curious if anyone else has run into this issue - I have not found any posts adressing this. The problem is as follows: Word 2007 document With an OLE embeded .doc > 25 MB Saves and opens fine in word 2007. When the .docx file is opened in Word2003, the embeded ole object icon is present, but when the user clicks on the icon to open it, only the "Format Picture" dialog box appears. If the user using word2003 saves the document at this point, the data in the embeded document is lost and cannot be opened in word 2007. This only happens with large .doc OLE embeded attachments. Any ideas on a workaround for this? It is causing me many headaches as our organization slowly migrates from 2003 to 2007. Thanks! Mike J. - 2. Trouble with Words TOC
I'm trying to customize a TOC for a template I've created in MS Word X on the Mac. The template is currently two columns. I would like the TOC to be one column. I want the user to be able to use Words TOC generation but output in on its own page and in one wide column. Is it possible? I can't seem to figure it out. Every time I try it sets the TOC inside the column that the cursur is in. I would like it to open on its own page and in one column. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Greg - 3. Custom Table Styles: Formatting Last Row
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I have been trying to develop my own custom table styles in Word. I want to create at Table Style with a 1.5 line at the header row, and a 1.5 line below the last row. Creating a style for the 'header row' works just fine but I cannot seem to create a 1.5 line below the last row. Does anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong? Also, aligning the header row in middle (vertically) is not working. <br> Thanks a lot in advance!

This is a fixed autocorrect for French and doubtless other languages. Have you checked you're in English? Tools > Language -- set English as default. Failing that, have a look in Tools > Autocorrect. On the first tab, make sure it's not somehow been set to replace "". If you want turn off Autocorrect as you type. On the second tab, try unchecking Replace quotes with smart quotes. This should turn " into 66 and 99 in English, but turning it off might stop it doing what it's doing.

1.Macro/Word converting double-quote marks into angle quotation marks
Hi all, I've scripted a vba macro that opens html pages in txt format and adds the following line after <BODY> (through a search and replace): <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Output.css" /> The problem I'm having is that Word or the macro (don't really know) is converting the double-quote marks into angled quotation marks (ASCII 147 and 148), which makes the line above unreadable by the browser. I've tried using Chr(34): "<BODY><link rel=" & Chr(34) & "stylesheet" & Chr(34) & " type=" & Chr (34) & "text/css" & Chr(34) & " href=" & Chr(34) & "Output.css" & Chr (34) & " />" But the browser still can't read it for some reason. I manually copied the line from a working file, and they look exactly the same, except that the copied line is recognized by the browser and the line added by the macro is not. Any ideas? Thanks Carlos
2.Why are quotation marks not appearing?
When I open a Word document in Word 2007 the quotation marks appear as a line instead. If I clear the formatting or change the font frm courier to courier new, I do indeed get the quotation marks. Can you explain why this happens? Other members fo our staff can open the document with no problems with the formattign. However, mine requires changing either the font or clear some fo the documents formatting.
3.Macro/Word converting double-quote marks into angle quotation mark
Can anyone tell me as to why I have to re-install Word 2002 every week or so? It will work fine and then for no obvious reason it will present the message "That it is not installed for the current user and to re-install it". I am the ONLY frickin' user of this machine. I have de-installed and re-installed it so many times that I wonder as to "Why did I ever purchase this piece of crap"? This pgm came as part of Works Suite 2004. There must be a registry hack to stabilize this pgm so that I don't have to re-install the beast. Doug
5.Punctuation marks and quotation marks
We are having a discussion here in the office about punctuation marks and quotation marks. Some say that the punctuation marks always belong on the outside of the quotation marks and others say the punctuation marks are susposed to go inside of the quotation marks. Such as "No, I wouldn't." and "No, I wouldn't". Can anyone tell us which way is proper? Thanks in advance and I hope I'm in the right group.
