43854 2002-04-15 01:44:00 I have recently installed office xp and am running win xp home

There is a very annoying feature in word and i would like to fix it.
When i type an apostrophe (') i have to press the apostrophe key twice to make it show up, and then two apostrophes come up (''). This is very annoying as i always have to go back and delete the second apostrophe.
Also, if i only type one apostrophe (') followed by a vowel (e.g. e) the e is turned into an e with an acute accent (i)

Does anyone know how to turn of this feature or if there is a patch available to download?

43856 2002-04-15 05:39:00 I've seen this one on here before. From memory I think the solution was to change the language option to English: go to Tools, Language, Set Language and choose English New Zealand.

That should fix it but if it doesn't work you might have to do the same in the Control Panel somewhere.
