Re: "Smart quotes" off? XPGD7
if you want to do both, then it's probably best to do what Acorn suggested: leave Xara set at smart quotes and use character map for the 'unsmart' characters - I don't know of an easier way to do both in the program which is not a word processor and I would never dream of attempting to use it for such... note, some fonts may include at least a smart apostrophe if not smart quotes and so with those you could work the other way round, up to a point at least..
if you want to revert xara default to non-smart quotes then change the following registry key [only do this if you are sure you know what you are doing...]
HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Xara / XtremePro / 8.1 / Options / TextTool / UseSmartQuotes
a data value of 1 is the default for smart quotes, and a data value of 0 will revert the default to non-smart quotes...
the string value of 8.1 in the key string is for XDPX, if you have a different version of the program then it will be a different value there
