The second maker.ini is at: C:\Documents and Settings\yourloginname\Application Data\Adobe\FrameMaker\8.0 But on my system, while it has a [Spelling] section, that section does *not* contain any SmartQuotes setting. >Is there a setting in the menus that I can tweak? Thanks, The other option is to turn smart quotes off, and use keyboard sequences to enter the quotes you want. But it's a PITA...
