#smart quotes
Jim,
As far as I am aware, double open and closed quotes are not mapped on the
Amiga Keyboard. This makes it difficult to support in the software.
With Professional Page you could use two single quotes “text'' and TRACK
them closer. This is also a handy way to get an em dash. Type four —- and
track them by -10. Remember, tracking basically moves the highlighted
charcter by the amount required. It is possible to track only a single
character by highlighting it and tracking. If you highlight more then one
character it will track all of them. It is not necessary to track pairs,
ie: with AV you would only highlight the V and track it closer to the
A…this way the A will not move. In the em dash you would highlight from
the second to fourth dash and track.
I know development is discussing the best possible way to make available
the extended character set. The best possible and most effecient UI is
needed.

OH YES: It should be possible to make a genie place the characters already
tracked.
