typographic quotation mark settings in xml file
Hi all,
I'm preparing Office 365 Business Premium for a company wide deployment. I'm creating a basic xml-settings/installation file via the https://config.office.com tool. As mentioned here https://support.office.com/de-de/article/%C3%84ndern-von-typografischen-anf%C3%BChrungszeichen-in-gerade-anf%C3%BChrungszeichen-und-umgekehrt-017963a0-bc5f-486b-9c9d-0ec511a8fb8f the setting for "typographic quotation marks is existing for PowerPoint and Word(and others).
For PowerPoint I'm able to configure this during deployment within the xml file as shown below:
<User Key="software\microsoft\office\16.0\powerpoint\options" Name="smartquotes" Value="0" Type="REG_DWORD" App="ppt16" Id="L_Replacestraightquoteswithsmartquotes" />
For Word I'm not able to find this setting within the configuration tool. I tried to use the same entry created for PowerPoint for Word as shown below:
<User Key="software\microsoft\office\16.0\word\options" Name="smartquotes" Value="0" Type="REG_DWORD" App="word16" Id="L_Replacestraightquoteswithsmartquotes" />
This seems not to work (only for word, the powerpoint setting is working fine). I'm able to see that the registry key is created, but the settings didn't changed within Word. Does anyone know how to configure this for Word or where in the registry this setting is stored for word ?
Hi BG,
As far as I know, the registry setting for the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" under the "AutoFormat As You Type" is [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\word\options\assist] "fSmartQuote_8_1"=dword:00000000 or dword:00000001.
However, there is no any article mentioning the setting for the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" under the "AutoFormat" tab.
The settings are stored in the registry, but unfortunately in a binary "blob" in the Settings value under the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word\Data.
Hope the information was helpful.
Best Regards,
Herb
