I cannot get curly quotes in word 2003. I know how to use autoformat, etc. to
change this function, but it doesn't word in word 2003. It works fine when I
use word in a computer at a different location that has a newer version of
word.

Click Tools | AutoCorrect Options. On the AutoFormat As You Type tab, make sure
"Straight quotes with smart quotes" is selected. Click OK.

Note that in order to get the correct smart quotes you must have the appropriate
language applied to text.

And the font you're using has to have the curly-quote characters. Many
of the cheap fonts on those "1000 fonts for $9.95!" disks don't have
them.

They still sell those? I have such a CD, purchased in 1995--don't know that
I could lay my hands on it now, but it had some interesting fonts, such as
"Dave's Crappy Writing." <g>

I don't see those displays any more since the Office Depot in Union
City closed -- and they sold all those $9.95 disks at 2 for 1, anyway.
