General ⇒ How to generate a straight apostrophe?

[xuinkrbin]

Hi,
I need to generate a straight apostrophe (not the default right quotation mark used as a substitute) in both table and non-table text. Can Anyone point Me in the direction of documentation showing exactly how to do so in both cases? Does a method exist to 'override' this "prefered" character, as many web sites I have found refer to the r.q.m.?

Thanks in advance.

Hi xuinkrbin,

welcome to the board!
Try \textquotesingle from the textcomp package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{textcomp}
...
\textquotesingle
