' Replaced by =
I have a number of clients running Word (Office 2003) who are reporting
letter changes. When a document is opened, the single quote ' is being replaced by the equals sign =. Is this a Word thing or a Windoze language setting or a keyboard issue? Anyone come across this? TIA Phil |

Thanks TF and Suzanne
It is likely that this is a legacy from a translated Wordperfect document Phil |
