Reply To: GREP to replace straight double quotation marks

Hi Elisabeth, what I have understood is that you want to replace all the Double Straight Quotation Marks to Left/Right Double Quotation Marks…

I think this can easily be achieved.

First go to the “InDesign Preferences >> Type” and Check On the “Use Typographer’s Quotes”

Then run the GREP find/change:

GREP Find/Change:
Find What:~"
Change to::"

Find: Any Straight Double Quotation Marks
Change: Double Quotation Marks (“), [Shift+’ >> the key next to the Return]

Let InDesign decide whether it is going to be a Left or Right Mark.

I hope that solves your mystery.
