Reverting automatic formatting on a “one-time” basis

You can also revert most auto-formatting (including the conversion of straight quotes into curly quotes, e.g., for use in measurements, 3") on a time-by-time basis by pressing Cmd-Z (Undo) after the automatic formatting takes place, and your original text will re-appear.
