Okay, we have another reader’s question. I received an e-mail from Claudia with the following question.

 

“I am also a blogger and for almost every text job that I do on my blog, I use Word first. The problem is that I always get errors with the curly quotes. Isn’t there a handy fix that I can use for this?”

 

Yes there is and a pretty simple one too.

 

If you and want to lose the curly quote’s you’ll need to do this:

 

  • Click on the Office buttons.
  • Select Word options.
