I am unable to type quotation marks or use back spacer.

First, I do not have this problem if I use Internet Explorer, which I don't like. I am unable to type some kinds of special mark - Apostrophe, slash - or to back space, forward space, or hit end. An odd thing crops up at bottom of page whoing what I'm trying to type down there.

How can I type curved quotation marks on iPad2?

I have recently started using Pages for both my Mac and iPad2 so I can continue typing on documents through iCloud. However, on my iPad, whenever I type quotation marks, rather than curved quotation marks, it is only allowing me to type straight quotation marks. How can I type curved ones? example:
On Mac: “I like apples.”
On iPad: "I like apples."

EIther tap and swipe up or tap and hold the " key. This will bring up a menu of additional characters including the two curved marks. While your finger is still touching the screen, slide over to the character you want and then release.
BTW, Further characters can be found by using this trick with other keys. For instance you can type a percentage symbol from the 0 (zero) key.

Type tool quotation marks display like greater-than symbols

I'm having trouble with getting quotation marks to display correctly, they look like 2 stacked >> symbols. They change slightly depending on what font I'm using, but they all ride at the base of the text. I cannot acheive normal looking curly or staight quotes at all. I have tried switching smart quotes on and off in the preferences, restarting, etc. I've noticed this problem in the past, but I thought it was the font I was using. The same thing happens with Times New Roman. I'm running an up to date version of PSextended CS5, 64bit on win 7 64. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure if this is where you looked, but check the overall Windows settings as follows:
Click Start and type Language in the search box. When Region and Language comes up, click it.
Look through all the tabs to ensure everything's set as expected.
Outside of finding something unexpected in there, it's never a bad idea to try resetting the Character tool, or even the Photoshop overall preferences. To reset the Type Tool, select the T tool, then right-click in the T tool icon in the options area:

SSMS 2012:XQuery-doing "Retriving Job Candidates with the query Method" in AdventuresWorks 2012. Unclosed quotation mark after string '//*:Name.First?

Hi all,
From Page 354 of the the Book "Pro T-SQL 2008 Programmer's Guide" written by Michael Coles (published by apress), I copied the following code (Listing 12-9 Retrieving Job Candidates with the query Method):
--Coles12_9.sql // saved in C:/Documemnts/SQL Server Management Studio
-- Coles Listing 12-9 Retrieving Job Candidates with the query Method
-- Doing XQuery and the xml Data Type in AdvantureWorks
-- 17 March 2015 1105 AM
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
SELECT Resume.query
N'//*:Name.First,
//*:Name.Middle,
//*:Name.Last,
//*:Edu.Level
FROM HumanResources.JobCandidate;
I executed this set of Listing 12-9 code in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio and I got the following error messages:
Msg 105, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
Unclosed quotation mark after the character string '//*:Name.First,
//*:Name.Middle,
//*:Name.Last,
//*:Edu.Level
FROM HumanResources.JobCandidate;
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
Incorrect syntax near '//*:Name.First,
//*:Name.Middle,
//*:Name.Last,
//*:Edu.Level
FROM HumanResources.JobCandidate;
I am not able to figure out why I got the error messages. Please kindly help and advise me how to correct this set of sql codes.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hi Scott,
I don't have that book at hand, but your problem is the "Unclosed quotationmark after the character string",as the error message shows. You have to enclose the 'XQUERY' string quotation in the
query().
SELECT jobcandidateid, Resume.query
N'//*:resume,
//*:Name.Middle,
//*:Name.Last,
//*:Edu.Level' --enclose the quotation here
FROM HumanResources.JobCandidate;
For XQUERY learning, here is a good
link.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

Quotation marks appearing as left or right arrows, does anyone know what is causing this?

Hi there we are using Indesign 2014, I am not sure if that has anything to do with this or not, but certain paragraphs in a document have a bug, where by when you type in a quotation mark (') a left or right arrow appears. We have found that if we clear the paragraph styling this disappears and the quotation marks work fine again. It is worth noting that these paragraphs did not have any paragraph styles applied to them, but they were pasted in from MS Word. Has anyone else experienced this issue and do you know where it comes from?

Ok thanks for enlightening me. We checked all the language settings on our workstations and they seem to be all set up as English UK and smart quotes are set to be used. I am not sure how to check the language assigned to a paragraph, as I say, there is not paragraph style applied to this text… Can you please let me know how to check this?
The more I think about it, the more I think it is some sort of styling that has come in from MS Word. I thought InDesign was pretty good at stripping out anything like this.

Getting Quotation Marks to look like they were mirrored. In GREP or Regular find and change

Hello,
Is there anyway to make quotation marks come out like this image below.
Right now I have 2 text boxes to make it work, as I cannot get the first double quote to look like a mirrored version of the right double quote ;-(
This is what it needs to look like.
Thanks,
Babs

Little bits do not count for as much as great big bits, and it is rule-worship to assume that they do. There is no proportionality in grouping very different sorts of violation together as if they were all in the same league of criminality. Picking up a dime someone has dropped in the street is completely different from breaking into someone's house and stealing a large quantity of money.
You'd have a fit if you found out I was using a logo you designed, without permission, and was making money from publishing it. Suppose I hacked into your system and copied your last completed job and handed it to your client before you could deliver and bill them? Would you be upset if they went ahead and used your work and didn't bother to pay you because, after all, there was no 'property' involved and they have what they need without cost?
Yes, I would regard that as a serious legal offense, and would follow it up with the full rigors of the law. But it is not "theft" in the proper sense of the word, in my opinion, because an idea (design, logo, etc.) is a type rather than a physical token. Its authorship must be protected, its origination acknowledged, monetarily rewarded, and all that, but the idea that it has an "owner" is the product of philosophical and logical confusion.
Human tend to over-extend the concept of ownership to all sorts of things that cannot legitimately be owned, such as other people. Even nowadays, following the abolition of slavery, many people consider themselves the owners of their spouses, children, employees, pets, etc..

French quotation marks

I'm trying to use Pages '08 in my French classes. I actually find it quite complete: the proofreader is particularly nice.
One must-have feature is the use of French-style quotation marks. Called "guillmets", they look like pairs of less than signs and greater than signs. When running in a French locale, I still get American style quotations. Anyone know how to use the << and >> style?
LC

Funnily (or tragically) enough it seems like Pages does not support les guillemets natively. It does support German Anführungszeichen though, so they should be aware that there is a difference.
Using a US-extended keyboard layout, you can type « using alt+backslash, and you can type » using shiftaltbackslash.

How do I replace quotation marks with double angle quotation marks, still keeping the word in the mi

Hi,
Does anyone know how to replace quotation marks with double angle quotation marks, still keeping the word in the middle?
For example: I search for a word with quotation marks by typing in: (")(\w+)(") in the "find what" field. What should I type in the "change to" field?
I'd be very grateful for answers!

It's much simpler: find " and replace with " (make sure that 'Use typographer's quotes' is enabled in the preferences).

Quotation Marks and Validation

I'm working with an XHTML transitional document.
I read on another forum that it is not necessary to use " for quotation marks in regular html, and that it will validate without them. So I pasted text from am MS Word document with several quotation marks in it in a web page and it validated fine.
However, when I type in text with quotation marks in the design area of the Web page, Dreamweaver inserts the " in the code, as if it is needed.
What is strange is that in this same document, I typed in some quotation marks in the code, so Dreamweaver wouldn't automatically add the ". Then I ran the validation check, and this time I got warnings that I should be using the " because the quotation marks are between tags--in this case just paragraph tags. And it only gave me the warning on the quotation marks I typed in in the code
So what is the reason for this inconsistency? And do I need to use the ".
I would appreciate any assistance with this.

Typing quotation marks in the code is not the same as in the design. In the code quotations are used in HTML and server-side languages such as PHP and ASP differently. In these cases quotes are needed as quotes and not as an HTML ".
Examples:
HTML - "Hello World"
Prints to screen -> "Hello World"
PHP - <?php echo "Hello World"; ?>
Prints to screen -> Hello World
HTML - <div style="border:1px solid #000">Hello World</div>
Prints to screen -> Hello World [Box surrounds text with 1px solid black border]
HTML - <div style="border:1px solid #000">Hello World</div>
Prints to screen -> [I'm not exactly sure what this does but it's not right and could look different in every browser]
Hopefully this makes some sense as to why DW does what it does. If you still have questions feel free to post back.

Quotation marks

Am using font type Helvetica for the body. Want to use curly quotation marks which are not part of the Helvetica world. So, I created another style sheet using Georgia, Times Roman as the font. Applying the new style - .apostrophe - to just the quote marks and then applying the correct style to the paragraph.
The problem is that when view in a browser, the quote marks are not accruate representations. In fact the representation is gibberish to me. Something like this â€œIn and â€.
How to get the curly quotes?
Thanks.

Mixing fonts just to get curly quotes seems like a bad design decision to me, but if that's the way you want to go...
The problem with â€œIn and â€ is almost certainly caused by mismatched page encoding. Open Page Properties from the Modify menu, and select Title/Encoding. Change the page encoding to Unicode UTF8, save the page, and test it again. If that solves the problem, you can make all future pages use the same encoding by changing the New Document preferences in the Preferences panel (Edit menu on Windows, Dreamweaver menu on a Mac).

Russian quotation marks

guys, this is the fifth or sixth version of pages i have now and still nothing is done concerning the Russian quotation marks.
you see, in typographically correct Russian we always use quotation marks like these «» and virtually never like these ", and while the closing quotation mark (») is available at alt (option) + =, there is absolutely no way to type in the opening quotation mark («).
please let me know if there is a solution to my problem, as this is the only setback i suffered since moving from MS Office to iWork.
thanks

You didn't say what keyboard you are using. I am using the Australian/USA keyboard.
option | = «
option shift | = »

Typesetter quotation marks in Pages"?

I can't believe there's no automatic way to include typesetter quotation marks (“ ”) as opposed to typer writer fonts (" ") in Pages documents. Am I missing something or do I have to use the special key combination to get the true quotation marks?

Hello Bakari,
to enable "typesetter quotation marks", open the Pages preferences and activate the first checkbox inside the second section.
Frank.

I am unable to type quotation marks or use back spacer.
