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.

And now open the AutoCorrect options.
Here you’ll need to select the AutoFormat tab.

Now uncheck the "Straight quotes" with “smart quotes” check box.
Click OK and that’s it.
