It works for me using Firefox 22 on a PC, and if it doesn’t work for you then the first thing to check for is browser related issues.
1. If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.
2. If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode please disable that mode. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html
3. If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/
(a) Try clearing your browser’s cache http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
If applicable see here for instructions on how to clear the cache for Chrome and Safari on the iPad:

(d) Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/
Add both *.wordpress.com and *.wp.com to your list of trusted sites under the Security tab. Make sure to uncheck the box for “Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone.” http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/#frequently-asked-questions
4. If you are not successful let us know:
(a) How you are connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com.
(b) Exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://www.whatbrowser.org/
(c) And what any error reports you receive state. -
First, thanks for your speedy response. I will try these options, but I should start by saying I’m in Mac OSX 4.11, and that is the newest OS my 11-year-old computer can handle. I browse with Safari 4.1.3, for the same reason. I have access to Firefox 3.6.1, again as far as I can go. So if this has to do with the browser, that will explain it. Can you tell me what effect pushing that button on an up-to-date browser would have. I tried to use it on my Android tablet, but no luck. Thanks. Judith

Hi again,

Hi Judith,
The quotation mark ( ” ) in the toolbar is there to create blockquotes. This is a way to display quoted text, and each theme will treat it a bit differently. To use it, you can highlight the quoted text in your post and then click the quotation mark button.
You can read more about each of the buttons in the post editor here: Visual Editor
It’s possible that the button will not work properly in older browsers, but please let me know if you have other questions about it! :)

Thanks for your suggestion. I was trying to start the quote with the button, rather than highlight already written text. Thanks for the link, too.
