Question Translation issues


Hi everyone

I have a Word document received from a French source and upon opening it, all the speechmarks are instead chevrons. An example is:

"Text here"

is now

«Text here»

Is this due to the document being created on a German machine and then being opened on an English machine or is there something specific in Word causing this?

Many thanks
Oliver

Hi Oliver,

That's how speech is quoted in some languages. You could use Find/Replace to change them, if need be.
