Angelika Posted December 14, 2022 Posted December 14, 2022 Hi there. Question. How do I put auto curly quotes while in designer V1 or V2 while typing instead of straight quotes? What happened to the default text styles that I had in V1 but are not there in V2? I am currently using a trial in V2. I want to upgrade to V2, but if these styles are not there, I am not. And the curly quotes are in publisher, but not designer. Thank you very much for any help. Quote

Go to Preferences and Miscellaneous and click on the Reset Default Text Styles. This will give you the original defaults. You may be referring to some Text Styles you have made and saved yourself as the Defaults. Make a new document in version one of Publisher and put some text in and use each of your text styles you want/need. Save this. Open it in version 2 and your text styles will be imported.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Autocorrect is only a function of Publisher, in both V1 and V2, I think. Designer doesn't have it.

h_d Posted December 14, 2022 Posted December 14, 2022 As far as I can see, the only way to get correct typographic quotation marks in Designer is to use old-fashioned key combinations rather than 'smart' quotes. On macOS these are as follows: Open double quote: option (or alt) plus open square bracket; Close double quote: shift+option (or alt) plus open square bracket; Open single quote: option (or alt) plus close square bracket; Close single quote (and apostrophe): shift+option (or alt) plus close square bracket. (Back in the day I remember learning these on Aldus Freehand because it wouldn't do smart quotes either. Plus ça change...) I don't know if they're the same on Windows, hopefully someone will.
