Hi, When you submit articles to Article Marketer and other places, they often indicate that your article contains "curly quotes" or other things that have to be fixed. They usually say ... The Article Body appears to contain some non-text characters (probably from the word processor) that did not translate to plain text. Many times graphical bullets, MS Word "curly quotes" or non-english language characters cause this problem. Currently there is no reliable method to produce "curly" or "smart" quotation marks in HTML. Create your articles in a text-only editor, such as Notepad. If you use MS Word, change the settings so that regular quotes are not automatically replaced with curly quotes. Visit Microsoft Help for instructions. How do you change the settings in Openoffice.org writer if you don't have MS-Word ? It's a problem when you have ghostwriters who complete articles for you and then you have to fix them because of this later. Is there an easier way around this ? Thank you.
