I am having a bit of trouble finding a solution. When I type (R) TeXShop changes it into circled R. I changed the setting in Language & Text, disabling "Use the symbol and text substitution." However, TeXShop still converts my (R) into circled R. I was not able to find an option in TeXShop. I feel like it is somewhere I just can't find it.

  • Welcome to TeX.sx! Usually, we don't put a greeting or a “thank you” in our posts. While this might seem strange at first, it is not a sign of lack of politeness, but rather part of our trying to keep everything very concise. Accepting and upvoting answers is the preferred way here to say “thank you” to users who helped you. – jub0bs Apr 06 '13 at 22:44

    Which OS and which version of TeXshop are you using? I cannot replicate your problem on Mac OS 10.8.3 and TeXShop 2.47. – jub0bs Apr 06 '13 at 23:43
  • I too do not see the behavior with TeXShop 2.47 that you are seeing. But, if you changed a setting, I think you may need to restart TeXShop for that setting to take effect. If that does not resolve your issue, please provide details as requested by @Jubobs. – Peter Grill Apr 07 '13 at 00:48

    Try the same text in a TextEdit window. If you still get the substitution it's an OS setting, not TeXShop. – Matthew Leingang Apr 07 '13 at 09:51
  • Thank you very much for all the answers. Yes, I am new to here. I am happy to hear Jubobs suggestion.

    I am using OS X 10.8.3 and TeXShop 3.10. I tried with TextEdit, but it didn't covert (R) to circled R. It is still converting on TeXShop.

    I went back to Text tab on Language and Text setting. I just checked and unchecked the "Use symbol and text substitution" option, and now it is working fine. – Youngsu Apr 07 '13 at 23:24

Try disabling OS X system-wide Text Expansion in System Preferences -> Language & Text (video). The symbol (R) is substituted by default.
