Using the keyboard:
* On most US keyboards: The apostrophe key is the same as the single quote key, located on the top left side of the keyboard, usually above the Enter key.
* On UK keyboards: The apostrophe key is usually located next to the Enter key.
Other methods:
* The "Symbol" dialog box:
1. Go to the "Insert" tab.
2. Click on the "Symbol" button.
3. In the "Symbol" dialog box, choose "Symbol" and then "Font" as "Arial" (or the font you're using).
4. Find the apostrophe symbol (') and double-click on it.
5. Click "Insert" to add the apostrophe to your document.
* The "Character Map" tool:
1. Search for "Character Map" in the Windows Start menu.
2. Find the apostrophe symbol (') and double-click on it.
3. Click "Select" and then "Copy".
4. Paste the copied apostrophe into your Word document.
Using AutoCorrect:
You can also set up Word to automatically insert an apostrophe when you type certain combinations of keys, such as:
* Typing " ' " (a space followed by a single quote) will automatically be replaced with an apostrophe.
* Typing "''" (two single quotes) will automatically be replaced with a double quote.
To set up AutoCorrect:
1. Go to "File" > "Options" > "Proofing" > "AutoCorrect Options."
2. Click on the "AutoCorrect" tab.
3. Under "Replace" and "With", type in the combinations you want to use and the character you want them to replace.
4. Click "OK" to save the changes.
Now, whenever you type the specified combinations, Word will automatically replace them with an apostrophe.
