formating apostrophes

B

My editor and I use 2007 Word with Vista and the same Font. Nevertheless,
oftentimes, he gets the apostrophes as straight signs while I have them as
curly. We need to maintain the same formatting for final printing. Any ideas?

This is nothing to do with font selection but with the autoformat as you
type option that substitutes straight quotes with smart quotes on your PC
and not on his. Word Options > Proofing > Autocorrect Options > Autoformat
as You Type.

You can always autoformat the document to fix the quotes before printing
with a macro

Sub FixQuotes()
With Options
.AutoFormatReplaceQuotes = True
End With
ActiveDocument.Range.AutoFormat
End Sub
