How about, when you type “ you get smart opening quoes and '' gives you smart closing quotes? No, I didn't think so 🙂 Yes, you do need an easy way of handling this … I personally would like a three tier system. The first two would be to have `escape' methods (like PageStream) to allow a raw numeric code to be entered or a simple mnemonic. The third would allow graphical selection from a table of such characters (ideally prepared from the font in question). Mike (from the UK)
