Yes. With Frame not running, open your maker.ini, the one
in the main FrameMaker directory, in a text editor. Find
the [Spelling] section, and at the end of it is SmartQuotes:
SmartQuotes=
which shows the actual quote characters. Change it to:
SmartQuotes=\xd4\xd5\xd2\xd3
which uses their numeric codes; this is actually specified
in the file, in a comment above that line that has the codes
for several different languages. Save and close maker.ini,
open FrameMaker, and enjoy.
I had the same problem, and that solved it for me.
