Hi all,

I use a French version of Word 2007, which gives "curly" apostrophes by default. I need to use the straight ones (English ones) for a project but without changing the language of my document from French to English. Does anyone know how/if I can do that?

Thanks in advance!

Bruce

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for your reply. Did you mean Word 2007? You mention the Tools menu which is not present as such in Word 2007. If you did mean Word 2007, do you access the functionality via the Office button or through the ribbon?

Thanks!

Bruce

PS: Ooops! I read Pavel's answer too quickly. Sorry. Has anyone got the answer?

Sous Remplacer, activer ou désactiver la case correspondant aux guillemets droits et chevrons (guillemets à la française). Lorsque cette case est désactivée, on obtiendra directement les guillemets anglais lors de la frappe ainsi que les apostrophes droites. Si on l'active, on obtiendra les chevrons et des apostrophes courbes.

Cependant, il semble impossible de dissocier les deux pour avoir par exemple des apostrophes courbes et des guillemets anglais.
