Automatically changed typographic quotes not according to regional standard?


Recommended Posts

Small glitch — I could be wrong but:

Seems like if "change straight quotes to typographic quotes" is checked, Publisher will always correct them to the English/US standard

even if I choose Swedish in the Replacement menu. (My system language is already Swedish). 
In other apps, quotes are converted to the correct Swedish method:

I got the last one in Publisher by actually entering the correct quote manually (alt+shift+2 on a Swedish keyboard) so it CAN be done. But would obviously be better for Swedish (and Finnish) users if the correct conversion took place automatically.

Thanks!

By "Replacement menu" are you referring to the Autocorrect Preferences. If so, Swedish is not a choice there. It's just one place where you can configure what should happen when Swedish is the language that is being used.

If you look in the Character panel (View > Studio > Character) while you have the text selected, at the bottom you'll see a Language section. In that section, what is specified as the Spelling language? That would determine what Autocorrect options apply, I believe.
