From: Annie1904 on
I write quite a bit of dialogue, and the most irritating thing is having to
insert quotation marks! I'm a pretty fair touch typist, but I always have to
stop and look at quotation marks - they don'd come as automatically tome as
other punctuations marks for some reason. I would really love some, more
automatic, way of inseting them where required. For example, I'd like to
keep on typing, ignoring the quotes then when I get to the end of a para,
whatever, go back through it and highlight the bit that needs quotation marks
beginning and end, and just click a toolbar button. Of course, you realise
that there would have to be options for the closing quotes - and I put these
within parenthesis to avoid confusion with normal punctuation, e.g. (."),
(".) (",) etc.

Any whizzkids out there who might like to patent this and make a fortune
from writers like me?
