Hello,
Although I ticked the box "replace straight quotation marks with typographical characters", there is no longer any protected space before ?!;: in French, only before » and after «. I'm sure there is a setting for this somewhere, can anyone help me on this please?
Regards, Caroline

Hello Caroline,
With changing the QA settings (in the global settings, so you don't have to repeat it for every project) it should work, when you run the quality check at the latest. There are two ways:
either via

Ctrl+Shift+Space

AutoCorrect will only replace "?" with "[nbsp]?" if you type normal space first. You will have to go back and delete that superfluous space then. I think the simplest way would be just typing nbsp with Ctrl+Shift+Space.

autohotkey

You could use a simple autohotkey script
+/::sendinput, {U+00A0}{U+0x3F}
The "+/" means "Shift plus forward slash" which is the location of ? on my keyboard (your keyboard may be different). {U+00A0} is the ascii code for a non breaking space. {U+0x3F} is the ascii code for a question mark.
With this, every time you type ? it will be replaced with a non breaking space and a question mark.

Ok, thank you everybody. I thought it was a settings issue, but seemingly, I'll have to go on with Ctrl Shift Space.
Many thanks for your help!
