Default How not to have those slanted inverted comma when editing text inWord

Hi !

I'm using Word as a text editor. I notice that it uses those
slanted " and ' instead of the vertical ones. This cause a problem
when my othe program reads the file. Is there are way not to use
those slanted " and ' ?

Thanks very much in advanced.

Word isn't a "text editor", it is a word processing application, if you
need interoperability with other programs expecting "plain text" use a
"plain text" editor like NotePad (which is on all Windows installations)

Agreed, word is not a text editor. I just wonder if it can function
like one. What I really need is a text editor that has the ability to
Send to Bluetooth. Do you know of one ? That would be great !
Thanks

Save as type - Plain Text

Of course, it would be overkill to use Word for just that purpose - notepad
saves in plain text as someone suggested.

r-click the file in Explorer or on the desktop and select "Sent to" from
the dropdown menu
