Learn how to locate autocorrecting substitution settings, turn substitution features on or off, and access text settings of your system preferences from within Pages to create keyboard shortcuts.
- [Instructor] As you're typing away here…in your Pages document,…you may notice some funny things happening.…For example, you know you made a typo,…you go back to fix it, and it's already fixed for you.…Or perhaps you're using dashes or quotes,…and they're getting changed on you.…These are all part of the autocorrect preferences…that we're going to explore in this movie.…We'll do it with our LeafAndMortarBio document 0309,…if you're catching up.…Just going to go up to page one,…which currently is a blank page,…and just click up near the top.…We'll see our flashing cursor.…Let's test this out a little bit.…
Let's say we want to add a quote, like…my name is David.…I'm going to use the double quotes,…and you can see they're actually curved a certain way,…if you zoom in.…I'm going to zoom in…so you can see this a little bit better, to 200%.…All right, My name is David.…Now I'm going to hit the same key on the keyboard…for double quotes, and they're curved the other way.…This is what we call smart quotes,…and they're turned on automatically.…
