Entering Apostrophies and Quotation Marks (To declutter entries)

2
votes

Here is my test. I`m trying to enter an apostrophe without the program converting it to an '.

I`ve tried two ascii symbols to see if they get around the problem

Alt+96 seems to work but Alt+31 failed.

 
O.K., based on this test may I suggest that to declutter future entries, instead of using the apostrophies and quotation marks on the keyboard, you can improve the appearance of your entries as follows:

 
For an apostrophy, enter Alt + 96 on the numeric keyboard.
You will get the result shown above for the words Im and Ive.

 

For quotation marks, don`t use them. Instead, use both of bold and italic characters in the place of quotation marks.

 
Bah!! Humbug!! I have to count this test a failure. I could not replicate the results for Im and Ive found in the first two paragraphs when I tried to get them entered in the fourth paragraph. I have to consider the test a failure unless someone can tell me what I may have done wrong.

I've "got" no problem.

I just typed them in from the keyboard.

Hola, Gringojrf! I opened your reply in Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. It is only a problem in my older version of IE. I am soon to upgrade my PC. This should fix this glitch. Thanks for your reply. - Moe, Jul 7, 2014
I use mozilla. You can download it. - gringojrf, Jul 8, 2014
