Chris26 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I can not find out how to set quotation marks outside the paragraph instead of them being seen as a character and part of the paragraph, especially unsitely in Justified text.

Then looking for the dishwasher and finding it stored in the living room where you have to download a water supply from the app store, then you have to buy microsoft compliant soap, remove the carpet only to be told that it is glued to the floor.. Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed.

Ah the front door key is yours and it only needs to open the front door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulEC Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Would Optical Alignment do what you want? (See "Help" for details.)

Not really sure what you mean because quotation marks are characters, & there are relatively few fonts that do not include at least one kind of them, like single or double quotes & the various 'curly' & straight forms.

Compositor K Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 It sounds like you're looking for what is called "hanging punctuation". There's a thread about it in the V1 section. It looks like optical alignment is the solution, as PaulEC suggested. I haven't looked into it in Publisher yet. It's an advanced refinement for text settings, and a valuable one, but it can be overdone. It looks like Optical Alignment will allow you to do what is called "half hanging"--having the punctation mark extend only partly outside the text block, so that, while there's no notch (so to speak) of white space under the punctuation mark that is prominent enough to disturb the impression of an even margin, neither is there a black blotch extending into the margin prominent enough to do the same.
