What am I missing? Apparently I cannot use quotation marks in
Scribe. I also cannot use the comma. For the quotation mark, it just
gives me a couple of spaces, for a comma, I get a somewhat odd looking
M. This key works fine in Word, email, everything else.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Thanks! (Oh, and I am brand new to Scribe, but this can't be specific
to my computer, since I'm not having this problem elsewhere, right?)

I have the same problem with the same characters. Totally different
computer. I hope someone can help.
I prefer Scribe over Zotero. It is more portable.

Are you both using scribe 3.5? I noticed this as well when I downloaded
the new version of scribe.

I'm having the same problem with apostrophes.  They appear first as Xs and then as Ms.  I am using Scribe 3.5.

Ok, the fixed version of Scribe 3.5 for windows is now available:

http://chnm.gmu.edu/tools/scribe/scribe3.5.1win.zip

The quotes issue should be fixed, and the dialogue for the date
settings should no longer come up on open. Various other windows
issues may be fixed as well--let me know if you have any more problems.

Best,
Elena

Thanks Elena,
I down loaded the revision the other day and have been working with it
the past two days. Everything seems to be working just fine.
Again thanks for fixing this so quickly.
