Curly Smart Quotes Switch to Straight Smart Quotes in New Chapters
G'day everyone!
I'm writing a novel at the moment and have set the autoformat options to replace straight quotes with smart quotes automatically. When I start a new paragraph, the formatting stays the same, i.e. I get curly quotes like I'm supposed to, but when I start a new chapter, I get angled straight quotes instead. Some paragraphs, however, staunchly refuse to give me curly quotes. The only way I can get them to accept curly quotes is to copy and paste the quotes from a paragraph that does accept curly quotes. Not exactly the most elegant solution in the world. The problem always occurs when I start new chapters, which I do by hitting enter until I get a new page break. This must be triggering different format settings somehow. How can I get curly quotes all the time, every time? Many thanks in advance. |

Try setting the AutoFormat as you type options in addition to the AutoFormat options. They are separate settings.

Thanks for your reply.
I already have that option checked. Alas, it hasn't helped. |

As every character in a document can have its own proofing language, language issues may be the cause of the problem. You may find the macro to change quotes at http://www.gmayor.com/word_vba_examples_4.htm a useful workaround.
