Hi, All,

My own searching tells me the answer is negative, but I wanted to make sure--in PocketWord 2.0, is there any way to use smart quotes and em dashes?

My brand-new-used Velo 1--if it ever does arrive--is like me, memory deficient, so my word processing needs will have to forgo the beloved TextMaker running on my J-720. So on the Velo 1, I must return to PocketWord and all its simplemindedness.

I really do need smart quotes/em dashes, but can not find any add-on program for PocketWord other than various word count programs.

Why don't you just use the word count if it does allow you to use special characters?

Hi,

Word count programs don't have anything to do with PW's absence of smart quotes/em dashes. I was only saying that word count programs were the only PW add-ons that I've ever found

Oh, I'm sure TM has a version for 2.0, but since I don't have room for a bagel on that Velo let alone 6 mbs of word processing, I'm stuck with PocketWord.

Oh, ok.. I thought you were saying that Word Count Plug-Ins also had smart quotes/em dashes built-in...
I would say "my bad", however, I do not talk like that...

Well, for me, I only use Pocket Word just for typing basic things... Besides, I am happy with Word 2003 on the desktop. (I am not bragging that I have Office 2003, I fully respect users of 97/2000/XP-2002)

Tenjeangosi--

Many thanks for the tip, and I'll look around the web and see if there's a CE 2.0/MIPS version.
