Sorry, just a little ticked, lost a very long thread to timeout, and It took about thirty minutes to type....

Must learn to type faster.

Follow these simple instructions

I have found it is way less frustrating, and allows for better writing if you:

Write in word.

Do the following to your word program to avoid the quote mark problem:

From an old thread:
Quotation marks in Word
It´s easier than that to avoid the problem with quotation marks in Word. You just have to disable the automatic replacement of normal quotation marks by typographic ones.
My word is German, I assume that the menu path in the English version is as follows: Extras, Auto-Correction, Auto-Format during Input, Replace during Input, "straight" quotation marks by "typographic" ones. (If my translation is far off, please someone check and post the right English words). If this option is unchecked, the "" remain as typed and thus readable - only the typographic ones are shown as numerical code.
Hope this helps,

Word allows you all the time you need to write a really good thead, spell check it and then cut and paste it into Chyoo.

Trust me, you will enjoy it much more.

Thanks.
