Sorry, I cannot reproduce the "2-manifold" problem. For the quotes it makes
a difference how I've entered the quotation marks. (See the screenshot below.)
The first one are real quotes. The second simple quote key strokes.
The suggestion would be to use "Insert->Special Character->Single Quote" or the
short cut given there.
It depends on how the "2" is entered, and I did not make that clear. I
usually write things like n-manifold ("n" being the dimension), but the
n is in math-mode (which is the proper way). I am so much in that habit
