Turn Off Typographer s Quotes

Turn Off Typographer's Quotes

We almost hesitate to mention this one, because hopefully there aren't too many times where you'd want this option turned off. But, in case you don't want the quotation key to automatically turn into typographer's quotes (meaning you want straight quotes), you can turn off this option. From the File menu, choose Document Setup, select Type from the top pop-up menu, and uncheck Use Typographer's Quotes. Of course, if you change your mind, you can always convert "dumb" quotes back into "smart" quotes by selecting your text and choosing Type>Smart Punctuation. Make sure the Smart Quotes checkbox is turned on, and click OK.
