Single quotation mark

Post by Nhaps »

When I use single quotation mark it only outputs right curly, rather than left as well. How can we have both sides working? I am using US International keyboard.

You have smart quotes turned on in preferences? If so, it will do both (in some fonts the left smart single quote looks kind of straight, but it's not).

I should add that this is not a forum discussion topic. If you think there is a problem or bug, you should contact tech support.

1. I opened preferences but cannot locate the tab for smart quotes.
2. May be I missed something, but I thought questions were allowed on the forum. My question did not concern a bug or problem.

Thanks

It is a problem (and perhaps a bug) if you see inconsistencies between open and close smart quotes. And now we're going back and forth on the forum to figure out why. This is not what the forum is for:

Please contact tech support directly and we'll work through this (support@sonnysoftware,com). Please include a screen snap of your Scan & Bib settings in preferences.

I apologize for the inconvenience. I did not know that my question concerned tech support. Please remove this post.

It's not a problem, it's an opportunity to remind people that the forum isn't intended for tech support. We'll discuss the issue you're having off-forum.
