DavidW5251 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Hepl please. Either I cannot find a workaround or there is a bug here. When entering a Section name in a lengthy Publisher document showing a Book Chapter title (eg -- Jo's last scrape -- the inverted comma (single quote mark) in Dan's shows as a simple tick (foot sign) rather than the normal inverted comma mark. This also occurs for double quote marks " " Using the same font I set the verso pages header (difectly typing onto Master page) as -- Jo's boys -- where the inverted comma is typographically corect. Advise please if this is bug - in which case please can you fix it. If not, please advise a workaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. Are you saying that when the section name contains the apostrophe, and Publisher puts the section name on a page, it remains a straight apostrophe rather than becoming typographic? If so, that's not surprising to me, as the transformation is part of Auto-Correct processing, which only applies when you're typing. I can't check right now to confirm it will work, but have you tried putting a typographic apostrophe into your section name via copy/paste?

DavidW5251 Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 Thanks for the speedy reply, Will. Yes, your description of the problem is as you say. Yes, I've tried using copy/paste in the way you suggest and no, it doesn't work. The workaround I've now used is to define a Master Section and apply it to the relevant pages. A bit tedious for a lengthy docment, but at least it's typographically correct. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 There has to be a way of doing this on Windows too... The only way I could get this to work was to use the Mac's Shift + Option + ] (closing square bracket) for the apostrophe. This is typing in the Section name of the Section Manager, it looks like a straight single quote in the Manager but it shows as an apostrophe in the actual page.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenmcd Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 You should be able to avoid AutoCorrect completely by directly entering the Unicode code point. ‘ is U+2018 ’ is U+2019 “ is U+201c ” is U+201d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
