Hi all!I'd like you to consider enabling by default single quotes substitution ("smart single quotes") in AutoFormat. OO.o already replaces straight quotes with smart ones (i.e. “ ”, « » and the like) out of the box. Straight apostrophes are kind of ugly in well-formatted documents, and they are not the recommended Unicode char for that (see documentation for U+2019 character). The single quotes substitution works quite well in OO.o ATM, it handles both the case where it's used as single quotation mark (‘expression’), and that of strictly-speaking apostrophe (as in it’s). So I can see no problem with enabling it. On the contrary, leaving it disabled makes OO.o look inferior to other text processors, since MS Word (for a long time) and Abiword (in the next version) include this feature. I for example always need to check the box in Tools->AutoCorrection when I install OO.o for users. What do you think about that?
For German the situation is not as easy as for English, and other languages might have problems too. Please read the discussion in http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5839.
