Avatar

Level 2

In my organization, we have only the desktop AEM Forms solution to manage and maintain 1500+ statewide forms. We us a mix of formats that include both straight and curly (or smart/typographer's) quotes. How can we type/force curly quotes?

With the typical keyboard layout you only get straight quotes, the curly ones are only accessible by entering their character code with the additional number keys on the right. It requires some discipline but you're getting used to. 

Here's a great ressource, that explains it and many other things around typography: https://practicaltypography.com/straight-and-curly-quotes.html
