I have tried for the past 5 hours to figure this out.
I just downloaded Libreoffice today and so far, I hate it. One issue that is repeatedly occurring is that no matter what I try, I can’t get the curly quotation marks back. The version I’m using came with the straight quotation marks and no matter what I do, I can’t get the curly ones back. Is there a fix for this? Thank you in advance. I’m using Libreoffice 24.8.5.2. I’m also using a Linux operating system.
I don’t understand. You are a first time user and want something back?? What was your previous setup then?
.
That’s what we all(?) use, as I have never seen a keyboard with curly quotes. There are rules to auto-replace quotes after input, and this depend on language settings, because different countries have often different settings here (for example the french << … >>)
.
LibreOffice works with Unicode. As a last option you could input your curly quotes as special characters.
.
So places to look are
- your language settings (general, and in paragraph)
- autocorrect configuration
- Completeness of your install in “a Linux operating system” as Linux allows a lot of variations.
An older thread:
I had the older and better version of Libre Office on my old laptop. When I changed laptops, Libre forced me into the new and buggy version. I’m an author as my job and I need my quotation marks to look like this: “ not like this ". No matter what I try, the system will not let me change them. I have even tried to edit them through the “localized autocorrect” option and it will not take.
Simply wrong: On LibreOffice.org you can download any old version you wish to install. Al you need to do is reading down the page or follow the link here
