  • Issue with apostrophes and quotation marks in google docs

    From Tracy Germani@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 10 01:52:30 2023
    Hi,
    Have been having an issue in Google Docs. When typing an apostrophe or quotation marks, if I type a letter afterwards it appears as a curved apostrophe instead of a straight one. For example, when typing don't, it would appear as this: don'’

    I would have to type don' then add a space, then I could add the final t.

    Same with quotation marks.

    Any ideas? I have the US international keyboard and have followed some suggestions from other forums but nothing is working... thanks

    (Why would you want the wrong form -- "straight quotes" -- to appear?)

    I could tell you how to turn that off in MSWord, but I wouldn't.
