Quotes can look different. They can be in the form of "Christmas trees" or in the form of "paws", double or single, the opening quotes can be on top, and the closing ones - on the bottom. In any text editor, it is quite easy to put quotation marks or change their appearance.
Instructions
Step 1
To make the double quotes look like herringbones (“text”), switch to Cyrillic text input. To do this, press the combination of keys "Alt" and "Shift" or "Ctrl" and "Shift" or click on the flag icon on the taskbar in the lower right corner of the screen. Hold down the Shift key and press the number 2 on the main keyboard panel.
Step 2
If you need to change the double quotes to “feet” (‘’ text ‘’), switch to Latin text input. While holding down the "Shift" key, press the " "key, it corresponds to the key with the letter" E "in Cyrillic.
Step 3
There is another way to insert non-standard quotation marks (“text” or “text”) into the text. Place the cursor in the desired place of the text, go to the "Insert" tab and open the dialog box from the "Symbols" section. To do this, click on the "Symbol" button and select the "Other Symbols" command by clicking on it with the left mouse button.
Step 4
In the window that opens, select the desired font, in the "Typeset" field, set the value "Punctuation marks" by selecting it from the drop-down menu. From the list of characters provided, select the quotes that you like best. Click the "Insert" button and close the dialog box. In order not to invoke the symbols dialog box every time you work with the text, copy the inserted symbols to the clipboard and simply paste them using the mouse or by using the Shift and Insert or Ctrl and V keys.
Step 5
To put single quotes, switch to the Latin alphabet, while holding down the "Shift" key, press the "’ "key (the letter" E "in Cyrillic) - for the upper quotation mark. The "," key (letter "B" in Cyrillic) is used for the lower quotation mark.
Step 6
In the Cyrillic keyboard layout, press and hold the "Ctrl" key, and then two times the "E" key to put a single upper quotation mark. For the lower single quotation mark, double-click on the "E" key while holding down the "Ctrl" key.
Step 7
If you need to replace all quotation marks that appear in the text, on the "Home" tab, select the "Replace" command in the "Editing" section. A dialog box will open, in the first field "Find" enter the kind of quotation marks that you want to fix. In the "Replace with" field, enter the quotation marks that you would like to see in the text. Click the Replace All button. Do this step separately for opening and closing quotes.
Step 8
The principle of work in the Word editor below the 2007 version is similar to that described, only the "Symbol" command is called from the "Insert" menu, and "Replace" - from the "Edit" menu. In any other editor, the principle of replacing quotes is also not significantly different. To replace quotes in a notebook (for example, AkelPad), select the "Find" item in the top menu and call the "Replace" command. If you cannot enter herringbone quotes (“text”) from the keyboard, call the “Insert Symbol” command in the menu from the “Edit” section and select the quotes you need from the list, or simply copy them from another document and paste them into the required field in the window replacement.
