Help with the "find and replace" option; character problem

[martinn4]

Hi,



Each time i tell Word to find .html" and replace it with EN.html" ,
i get instead this: EN.html»

The problem comes from the » at the end, which should instead be "

It's a big problem, because the text is destined for a webpage creation, and the » isn't recognised.

Thanks for your help.

For the replacement expression, try using:
EN.html^34

Many thanks to you, great sir !

Could you point out for me the knowledge source for this ?

Basically, it's just a matter of knowing that the plain double-quote character is ASCII 34 - which is what the ^34 represents. Using that prevents Word substituting the desired plain double-quote with anything else (e.g. smart quotes or other auto-correct options).
