Swedish double quotation marks separated from enclosed word.

[peter_b]

In Sweden we use the ”Double right quote” on both sides on a quoted word.
Sometimes you get the first quotion mark at the end of line, and the word with the second quotaion mark on next line.
It works with the double quotes above the "2"-key, but they are very little used today.
It worked with Page Plus.

Welcome to the forums. I agree, Publisher doesn't handle Swedish quotation mark conventions properly.

Here's a test document and screenshot for Serif - the text is set to Swedish so I'd expect the double right quotation mark before a word to be stuck like a double left quotation mark is in English. Publisher does handle Swedish single right quotation marks properly.

As a temporary workaround, you could search your document for the double quotation mark and replace it with the same character but with Character > Positioning and Transform > No Break applied. This will make the document harder to maintain if you make more edits but it will work. Only the first quotation mark needs No Break applied but find and replace would replace all of them.

Alternatively, you could replace the double quotation mark with the same character and a Zero Width Joiner. You'd have to type it as Unicode (U+200D), copy it to the clipboard, and paste it into the replace field so it's a bit tricky, but this would have the advantage that if you edited the text you wouldn't accidentally type extra text formatted with No Break.

Thank you for the workarounds!
I think it would be very easy for them to fix it as it works for single quotes.
Didn't know about the Unicodes, but have now found your very usable pdf about these special characters!
