When I use MS Word to write and speel check my messages I find a problem with using (") for inches and (') for feet. CBN changes this to ( 800’ by 200’ 8”.) See example below. Is this a problem with my way of using Word to cut & paste the message or is this a problem with CBN format. I don't have the same problem on TBN.
My property is 800’ by 200’ 8”.
The messages is:
My property is 800' by 200' 8" inches.
MS-Word is not using the " or ' characters like you think it is. Word automatically changes straight quotation marks ( ' or " ) to curly (smart) quotes as you type. These are slanted left/right characters. To turn this feature on or off:
1. On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect, and then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
2. Under Replace as you type, select or clear the Straight quotes with smart quotes check box.
So, you use MS-Word to <font color="blue">speel</font color> check? [img]/forums/images/icons/blush.gif[/img]
