Apostrophe

[Guest]

Hello,

I'm using Word 2002 and when I type in the year as '06 and hit the "space"
bar the apostrophe gets reversed. However, when you type in '06 & hit Enter,
the apostrophe stays the same. It is difficult to show an example since this
newsgroup format is in plain text.
How can I get the apostrophe to stay the same every time instead of it
reversing?
Thanks....

What I think yhou are describing here are smart quotes. Turn off from tools

autocorrect options > autoformat as you type > uncheck smart quotes.

You can enter an apostrophe explicitly by typing Ctrl+', '. That is, press
Ctrl and the apostrophe key simultaneously, release, then press apostrophe
again. There are similar shortcuts for an opening single quote and opening
and closing double quotes. For more, see
