Typographic rules say that you should use curved single quotes ’ instead of
straight ' as character for apostrophe. This is the recommended use in Unicode,
where U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK (’) is said to be the right char, in
place of U+0027 APOSTROPHE (').
OpenOffice.org is able to do this substitution easily if it's enabled from
Tools->AutoCorrection, "Typographic Quotes" tab, "Simple quotes" area. But that
should be enabled by default; else, most users don't notice this option, and
they get poorly-looking documents, where OO.o can be considered as failing with
respect to MS Office or Abiword 2.8. For now, I always need to enable it when I
install a new system.
So please just turn this feature one by default, that will make many users get
correct documents without noticing it!
