notecards, note stream, disappearing quotation marks
Posted: Tue May 12, 2020 5:13 pm
Hi,
I am an enthusiastic new bookends convert, and I have been taking extensive notes on the notecards in note stream, but a weird thing keeps happening. When I type up a direct quote from another source, and I put it in quotation marks (so that I'll later know that these are not my words, but someone else's), the quotation marks show up in the note stream, but not, ultimately, in the note card itself. That is, if I click edit notecard, when I go in a second time, the quotation marks disappear. Worse, if I just copy and paste the notecard into Scrivener or MS Word, the quotation marks also disappear. Is this a glitch of some kind, or am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to ensure that quotation marks travel with the text when I cut and paste? I'd be grateful for any advice.
