Keynote automatically converts double hyphens (--) to dashes (—) and converts straight quotation marks to curly quotation marks as you type. You can turn this setting off or on at any time.
Note: The setting affects both hyphens and quotation marks—they’re both either off or on.
You can turn off automatic formatting of dashes in the Settings app on your device. Changing the setting doesn’t affect existing hyphens and dashes in your presentation, only new text that you type.
Note: This setting applies to other apps on your device that you use to enter text.
Tap Settings on the Home screen, then tap General.
Tap Keyboard, then tap Smart Punctuation.
Tip: To use different formatting for specific text, change the setting, type the text, then change the setting back.
