Hi all,

The short version of my problem is this:

I'm pasting text into a Word Press blog, and after working correctly, my 
regular quotes suddenly started turning into smart quotes even though 
I'm changing them manually.

The longer version is this:

Last night I used Word to write a post for one of my Word Press blogs. 
When I finished, I copied and pasted the text into the Word Press edit 
box and published it. The post contains a link: <a href="URL">text</a>. 
This morning, when I read the post, everything was fine: the link 
appeared as text that could be clicked on.

But this morning, I decided I wanted to add a couple more paragraphs to 
the post. So I added them to my Word doc. Then I went back into Word 
Press, removed the text of last night's post by selecting all and 
hitting Delete, and I pasted the new version of the post in the edit 
field. The problem is that the link now appears as a line of html--<a 
href=, etc.--because the quotation marks in the post are all right quotes.

According to Jaws, the quotes in my word doc are regular quotes and so 
are the quotes in the text I paste into the Word Press edit field, but 
somehow, when the post gets published, they become smart quotes. I've 
tried manually retyping them in the word Press edit field, but that 
doesn't help.

any ideas about what's happening or how I can fix it?

thanks.

Ciao
