A „problem†with quotation marks

S

This is so bizarre. . . but my opening quotation marks show up upside down,
but only in replies. They work just fine in new e-mails. And in Word. I'm
mystified!

You can use two kinds of quotation marks. Standard quotation marks are
straight up and down and look the same at the beginning and the end of a
quotation. Professionally published documents use "curly quotes"which use
separate marks to signal the beginning and end of the quotation. By
default,Word automatically inserts the correctcurly quotewhen you enter a
single or double quotationmark;because the program is intelligent enough to
tell the difference between openingand closing quotation marks,this feature
is called "smart quotes". I hope this helped you SueBee. I JUST got
done reading bout this and thought I'd pass it on to you . Christine

I appreciate this about curly quotes, Christine, but it doesn't address my
problem of upside down quotes!
