To use smart punctuation
The Smart Punctuation command searches for keyboard punctuation characters and replaces them with their
typographic equivalents. In addition, you can use the Smart Punctuation command to globally insert ligatures and
fractions, if the font includes these characters.
If you’re using an OpenType font, use the OpenType palette instead of the Smart Punctuation dialog box typeset
ligatures and fractions.

or characters.
