“smart quotes” vs. "Straight quotes"
mcardon:
Is there any way I can program my photo mechanic to use smart quotes rather than straight quotes?

I'm not sure what you mean by "program"?
If you can type them from the keyboard, PM will likely accept them.

I know you have a template and shortcut keys for MLB rosters. I wanted to program something similar for smart quotes.

That feature is called Code Replacement. While you could use Code Replacement for that purpose, it would be counter-productive since you would have to enter three characters just to output a quote character. I'm not understanding why you can't just type the quotes from the keyboard, or is it that you want PM to look at your straight-quote and turn it into the curved-quotes for you automatically based on context?

I'm not able to type in smart quotes from my keyboard. At this point, I have to cut and paste them from a word document. I'll take a look at code replacement to see if that would save time.
