How to turn off "smart quotes"

[Jerry W. Lewis]

The '"Straight quotes" with "smart quotes"' checkbox under
Tools|AutoCorrect Options...|AutoFormat
seems to have no impact on what appears when I press the quote key. No
quote marks appear in the AutoCorrect list under
Tools|AutoCorrect Options...|AutoCorrect

That exhausts the advice that I have found in Help. I am using Office 2003
SP2 under Win XP Pro SP2.

In Word, click on Tools | Autocorrect Options | Autoformat As You Type
tab | uncheck the "Straight quotes with smart quotes" box | Autoformat
tab | uncheck the "Straight quotes with smart quotes" box | OK.

Thanks for the quick reply, but as stated in the original post, I already
tried that and it didn't work. Perhaps this is a bug is 2003 SP2?

You mentioned changing it in one place. Did you change it in both places?

Good catch! I had never noticed that there was an option to autoformat after
the fact.

Thanks,
