#1
To choose the type of apostrophe, use Tools > AutoCorrect > Custom Quotes.
The selection of the apostrophe type affects both Calc and Writer.

AutoCorrect changes
Automatic correction of typing errors, replacement of straight quotation marks by curly (custom) quotes, and starting cell content with an uppercase (capital letter) are controlled by Tools > AutoCorrect. Go to the Custom Quotes, Options, or Replace tabs to deactivate any of these features that you do not want. On the Replace tab, you can also delete unwanted word pairs and add new ones as required.

## You could make an alias for each.
Lets say letters
nm should autocorrect to «
xy should autocorrect to "
