Help Word to forum question.

So when I write my story in Creative Corner I already make the BBCode in the Microsoft Word to save time, I just copy and paste it but when I do that the " turns in ” and when I gonna do something like when I paste it turns in [color=”xxxxx”] and the BBCode doesn't go...

Does anybody know why in Microsoft Word (I think it is 2010, my laptop is Windows 7) when I type " it turns in ” and the BBCode doesn't accept it as an "?

 

That's happened to me in the past, too, and I'm not sure why it happens. I think I ended up having to go through and fix the code manually, but you might want to try copy/pasting into another medium first and then KHV, like WordPad, NotePad or even something online like PasteBin. Doing that might fix the quotation marks, I can't say for sure though.

 

I believe it has something to do with text encoding, Microsoft Word displays text in UTF-8 by default. You should use a text editor that supports ACSII, the programs Stardust mentioned should work.

EDIT: Generally, if you're going to be writing code, it would be best to use a text editor instead of a word processor.
Some advanced, easy-to-use text editors that I use include Gedit and Notepad++.

 

I will test the NotePad++ right now, thank you! =]

When I'm done, I will come back here.

 

There is an option in Word for that. I'm running office 2010, so location may varry if you are using a different version.

File > Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options > AutoFormat As You Type > "straight quotes" with “smart quotes”

 

Oh, so there is a way to change the quotes of Word. Well, this will help a lot my sis who probably won't like the idea of take everything and paste into the NotePad++, also I'll see a future use to this software, I think I will try to use it, then see if I like it. As for the setting of the quotes I will pass this to my sis, thank you! =]

Well, the great new is that it really worked great! Both re-setting the Word and the NotePad++!

Thank you guys! =]
