Fun
with Quotation Marks Popular word-processing software, like Word, will quite often change the inch mark to the appropriate quotation mark automatically. Page-layout programs like QuarkXPress can also be set to do this. But, where do they belong? Here's a few usage rules for using quotation marks:
Web pages have their own quotation mark challenges. Quotation marks need
to be changed manually and are treated as special characters with different
code combinations. The coding for “ is “ while the
coding for ” is ” It's unwise to use them
throughout your site as some search-engines and browsers will not read
them correctly or at all. Tip: Affordable Graphic Design classes are available near you? Sign up for FREE information from top design schools. Some Links You May Find Useful

we all were relegated to using typewriters, which is where many of us
learned to type in the old days (nothing makes you feel older any quicker
than talking about the days before computers), we had one choice for making
quotation marks. We chose " because that's all there was on the keyboard.
Today, with computers in full force and typewriters on the decline, that's
not the case anymore. The inch mark (") is
not the same as quotation marks (“”) and they shouldn't be used
interchangeably in a document.
