Four Basic Functionality Questions with CC 17
1. Last month, I asked a question that hasn't yet been answered; I ask again.
In code view, when I attempt to change a double-quotation mark with a single-quotation mark by selecting the double and typing a single to replace it, instead of replacing the double with a single, a get a group of marks: single/double/single, such as '"' . Can this cumbersome procedure be prevented by me or corrected by developers?
2. Previously, I entered a non-breaking space quickly by typing "shift/command/space." Now in CC 17 (on a Mac using OS Sierra), I must type
"shift / ampersand-7 / n / b ". Is there a way to get the easy-to-use "shift/command/space" keyboard shortcut to work? Is there a menu option that makes this task easy to perform?
3. The Spell Check feature is dysfunctional when it comes to contractions. It flags the following contractions, which are spelled correctly: aren't, doesn't, I've, they've, isn't, can't, and so on. Is there a preference setting that I need to reset so that Spell Check accepts contractions?
4. When I activate Spell Check, its window appears directly over the text needing to be checked!!! I must drag the window to the right, off the text field, so I can see the misspellings it flags. Can't developers allow us to set where we want that window to appear in our subsequent Spell Check efforts? The relocated placement I give it lasts only until I check the next page; at that time, the darn window opens directly on the text field, blocking it from view!!!
I'm eager to learn all four answers. Hopefully, they'll make my/our use of DW CC 17 more functional and less cumbersome.
Thank you.
