Thread: Straight Quotation Marks

    Straight Quotation Marks

    It's been a long time since I needed this and "old age" has me forgetfull!

    Does anyone know how to change the "curly end type" quotation marks to the straight version?

    It seems that there is a keyboard short cut for this but I just can't remember it.


    Thanks,

    Marty, Don't feel bad about getting "old". When I read this thread I thought about how I didn't know that this even existed. Next thought was I am going to have to remember this for future use. Next thought, I am too OLD to even remember about this post! I am getting so old and forgetful I can't learn anything else! I try to learn here and even make notes but lose my notes.... oh well......

    It seems you get to a certain age, when every new piece of information that enters your head, pushes a old piece out to be lost forever
    Epilog 24TT(somewhere between 35-45 watts), CorelX4, Photograv(the old one, it works!), HotStamping, Pantograph, Vulcanizer, PolymerPlatemaker, Sandblasting Cabinet, and a 30 year collection of Assorted 'Junque'

    Every time you make a typo, the errorists win

    I Have to think outside the box.. I don't fit in it anymore


    Experience is a wonderful thing.
    It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.


    Every silver lining has a cloud around it

    But why does it always push out the good ones?
