AFAIK, MS Office needs you to type in a white space, and then it replaces it with a non-break space (I've not been using it for a long time, though). This may be a not so bad behavior - we can discuss that. Second point: standard apostrophes (U+0027 APOSTROPHE, ie ' ) can be replaced by AutoCorrection (fourth tab) with U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK, ie ’ - which "is preferred for apostrophe" (following the Unicode specification). This replacement function is primarily intended to replace English quotation marks U+0019 and U+0018 (right and left marks). But it is working perfectly for apostrophes too, at least in English and French. Note that all apostrophes should be U+0019 for typographical reasons: these are smarter. This AutoCorrection rule should be the default for French too. Maybe for German this would be an issue, I don't know. I'm aware this post is partly out of the scope of this bug, but these are related issues: how to set replacement rules that can be adapted for each language automatically. We have to keep this in mind when trying to design a new typo system. Thanks for working on this *really annoying bug*. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
