Ever since I have this new computer I have been trying to find where to disable the Bill Gates feature that changes single quote + a vowel in to a special character.
Example: I type e and Word and more importantly my Posts change it automatically to é.
I make much more use of words between single / double quotes example "example" than special characters.
Ive gone through Ctrl Panel Regional language settings and through Options in Word in an attempt to find out where I can switch of this behaviour but with no success so far.
My Keyboard setting is English UK
Regional settings UK
Running Windows XP SP2
Office 2003.
My workaround for this feature is to type single or double quote space vowel. I frequently forget to do that and then have to backspace and restart.
Do you know how to fix this ? If so can you let me in on the secret 👍
My old PC (XP sp2 + office 2003) doesn't show this behaviour and I've searched there as well to find the difference but to no avail.
