Subject:Curly quotes in Frame cross-references From:Nancy Allison <maker -at- verizon -dot- net> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Mon, 27 Oct 2008 15:10:07 -0500 (CDT)
I am working in Framemaker 7.1, XP Pro version 5.1, SP2.
I've inherited a document whose x-refs are punctuated with closed curly
quotes preceding and following the cross-ref:
Chapter 1. âOverview of the TDR900 and TDR9000 Circuit Breaker Test
Systemsâ
The cross-ref format that produces this result is this:
Chapter <$paranum> \'<$paratext>\'
I cannot figure out how to edit this to get open curly quotes to precede
the x-ref. When I make this substitution:
Chapter <$paranum> "<$paratext>"
I get straight quotation marks before and after the x-ref.
How do I get that initial curly quotation mark?
Thank you!

asking Frame or Word questions here instead of on dedicated Frame or
Word lists: the Frameusers main window is currently offline, and a
search of the archives did not turn up a solution.)
