Convert those dastardly curly quotes to straight quotes on Windows?
How can we convert those dastardly curly quotes to straight quotes on Windows?
http://i67.tinypic.com/2h5mjbr.jpg I like to save into TEXT files on Windows technical information cut and pasted from disjoint news articles where the unprintable curly quotes drive me nuts! Here is a screenshot of a sample cut and paste: http://i67.tinypic.com/2h5mjbr.jpg I tried cutting from the web and pasting into MS Word and then cutting from MS Word and pasting into the text file - but the dastardly curly quotes were still there. I tried using Google Gmail, pasting into a composition window and then hitting the "Tx" format text button, and even changing the font to some other font, but the dastardly curly quotes were still there. Since almost every technical web site uses the dastardly curly quotes, how can I just get *rid* of them using a Windows method so that I can have a text file that contains normal quotes? Here's just one sample but the web is filled with dastardly curly quotes! http://theverge.com/2017/10/6/16437790/iphone-8-swollen-battery-issue-apple-investigating |
