punctuation marks won't appear unless character inserted after quo
Hi:
In both Word and Excel, the double-quote and apostrophe won't appear unless I key another character after or add a space. Can you help? I am using Office 2002. |

Hi,
In excel I type ="'" (double quote, aprostrophe, double quote) to make one apostrophe appear. Maybe this helps "Hollyl" wrote: Hi: In both Word and Excel, the double-quote and apostrophe won't appear unless I key another character after or add a space. Can you help? I am using Office 2002. |

Thanks Jen, but it is the single apostrophe or double quote that won't appear
unless I add a space or another character. I use the apostrophe and double-quote for the foot and inches symbol, so it is extremely incovenient to add another keystroke when doing up measurements. I checked in auto correct and found nothing.... "Hollyl" wrote: Hi: In both Word and Excel, the double-quote and apostrophe won't appear unless I key another character after or add a space.

Check what keyboard layout you have set in the Operating system.
Control panel, Regional and language options, languages, Details, Settings, Keyboard. Hollyl wrote: Hi: In both Word and Excel, the double-quote and apostrophe won't appear unless I key another character after or add a space. Can you help? I am using Office 2002. |

Maybe you have this toggled:
Tools|Options|transition tab|Uncheck Transition navigation keys. I'd uncheck all those options. You still will have to type two single apostrophes to see one. Excel uses the single apostrophe to indicate that the entry should be treated as text. And with that setting toggled, excel will use Lotus 123 settings: " means right justify the entry ^ means center the entry ' means left justify the entry Hollyl wrote: Hi: In both Word and Excel, the double-quote and apostrophe won't appear unless I key another character after or add a space.

Hi, pal!
You have US International set as your input language. In this keyboard layout there is this bug(?) with punctuation. Change US International to just US instead. Enjoy! Good luck :) |
