Does anyone know how to access smart quotes within Xpression?

Are smart quotes something that is in another CG?

What are smart quotes? :)

Are you referring to " " vs " "?

Here's the shortcuts: http://smartquotesforsmartpeople.com/

Thanks Lesley - yes these are the smart quotes I'm speaking of. Thanks for the link. Another operator had passed along a similar link but the ASCII only works on the actual scene, not on a take item on the sequence side. Does anyone know how to get the smart quotes on the sequence side?

Interesting. I can do it from the MOS plugin, the layout, can copy and paste them in but it doesn't work to type it in the sequence template data. Strange.

You could leave the character map open and copy and paste from it? (window button all programs>accessories>system tool>character map).

Anyone have any better ways?

I was trying to get around the 'copy/paste' which isn't elegant in my current environment. Some other CG systems have the character map available within the CG app - I was hoping for this option, especially in addressing other special characters needed on the sequence side.

Thanks Lesley
