Sico Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 In Publisher version for MAC Desktop the Italian keyboard character ' is interpreted with the character >>. Using ASCII characters also cannot solve this problem. You have to copy the character from another program and paste in publisher and then replace the character >> with the correct one throughout the text. Try writing this word l'uomo and see that Publischer writes l>>uomo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For casual use like typing here, I'm fine with the "straight typewriter quotes", but for the real thing, I love the «Swiss peculiarities»! Especially because you can easily distinguish between ‹single quotes› and apo’strophes. Speaking of which, it reminds me of InDesign's annoying defaults, always auto-replacing straight ' apostrophes with "don›t", "can›t" on importing 3rd party text files, based on my "German (Swiss)" spelling preferences. Until I figured out that I must create a custom import filter that will strip absolutely all formating from imported RTF/doc documents and leave all characters as is. What a relief it was!
