,smart quotes, straight quotes, typography
A bit of typogragraphy today with straight quotes and smart quotes.
The problem is that since Fireworks CS4 you no longer get straight quotes. What you type are smart quotes and the quotes you want to import are automatically converted into smart quotes. There is a workaround.

This is an updated version of Share Layer to Pages article I wrote a few months ago.
This article shows you how to use the Share Layer to Pages feature in Adobe Fireworks but also issues like how to read the right and left column of the dialogue box.
Last thing to be careful about is the contextual menus which are a little bit different if you are using the right-click menu.
