Blackboard replaces all my " and ' with ?.  What do I do?

  • This is not a Blackboard issue but a Microsoft Office Issue.  The problem is that "smart quotes" is enabled in office. 

    • To turn off smart quotes in Word:

      • Open Microsoft Office and select Tools Menu/AutoCorrect/
      • Change on BOTH the "AutoFormat" and "Auto Format as you Type" tabs by unchecking the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes".
