'real' quotation marks (not inches mark)? - 9/28/2007 12:00:08 AM    TWM   Posts: 11 Joined: 9/20/2007 Status: offline That's always one of the tell-tale signs of amateur design -- using the inches mark, instead of 'real' open + closed quotation marks. How do I get them in PS? Thanks! -- TW < Message edited by lindarobin -- 8/15/2010 12:04:33 AM > Post #: 1

How do I get them in PS? That's an interesting observation that I hadn't noticed before. In high-end word processing programs (such as MS Word), the application knows how to start and end a quotation. The word processing portion of PS can't do this, however, I found that I can type in MS Word and copy/paste into a PS text box. The curly quotation marks then appear in the PS project.

Lindarobin's suggestion should work perfectly well. If you're going to use the quotes often, you could even store them in a document to copy and paste. Another way may be an alt-key combination. You can type, using the number pad for the digits: Alt-0147 Alt-0148 This takes me back some time ago when it was necessary to use combinations like this to get certain punctuation or non-English characters into some programs. You can see these by using the Character Map. In Windows XP it's in Accessories, System Tools. When you click a character or symbol, you can copy it for pasting. You can also see the Alt-key combination to reproduce it. If you check Advanced View, you'll see other options for character sets. You might find Windows: Western simpler than Unicode. Remember that you must use the number pad and not the top-of-keyboard numbers to enter the numbers. _____________________________ David (in reply to lindarobin) Post #: 3
