Ok, so I know a lot of programs will change ' into ‘ or ’ and " into “ or ” - like word for example. But I get sick of typing Alt+0145 (etc) into progs which don't recognise that I'm trying to write an inverted comma or apostrophe... ...or an ellipsis for that matter...

...so, do any of yous geeks know how I can change the keys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 etc. to output ‘, ’, “, ”, –, — etc?

Also, am I right in thinking that 1234567890 are “spare” keys since I have two of each of them (my keyboard has a number pad on the right)?

Thanks chums! Toodle...
Later yo.
