Windows Scriv 3 Typography: Quotation after an em-dash becomes an open quote

No idea if a fix is in the works but L&L suggested using the substitution feature as a workaround so you don’t have to remember to correct it.

Copy & pasted from their email:

  1. Go to File > Options > Corrections > Corrections

  2. Click the ‘+’ to add a new substitution

  3. Click the ‘…’ button to open the Character Map

  4. Copy and paste the correct characters into the ‘Replace’ and ‘With’ fields from the character map. N.B. make sure you choose the correct characters for the em-dash and quotes, as there are loads of similar characters. I’ve circled them in the screenshot of the character map. Obviously, choose single or double quotes depending on your preference.

  5. Click ‘OK’ all the way through and restart Scrivener.
