Hi, Everyone.

In SKY8, I want this:

viewpoints, considering others', 161-162

But am getting this:

viewpoints, considering others,' 161-162

How do I get the apostrophe to stay with its possessive?

I could do 

viewpoints, considering those of others, 161-162

but find that rather unwieldy.

Thank you,

Mary

Hi Mary,

If you add the apostrophe twice in SKY, it will sort the way you want it to. 

viewpoints, considering others'',

will turn into:

viewpoints, considering others', 161-162

All the best,
Madelon
