In the default font used by Excel, a letter refers to any alphabet character, a number refers to any numeric character, a symbol refers to special characters like %, $, &, etc., and a punctuation mark refers to symbols like !, ?, comma, period, etc.
In business letters, you should use a colon (:) if you use any punctuation. The new way is to have no punctuation after the greeting in business letters. But if you omit punctuation there, you also have to omit the comma after the closing. In personal letters, people use a comma after the greeting.

An apostrophe, like any other punctuation mark or letter of the alphabet, means the same thing in poetry that it does in prose. An apostrophe marks where a letter or letters are missing due to a contraction, or indicates the possessive case.
Spaces are not 'marks,' but they are nevertheless the most common form of punctuation. The Romans did not put spaces between words, and divided words at the end of a line without using any punctuation mark. A nightmare!
Websites rely on URLs to open a page. Punctuation in a URL can interfere with the webpage. So Answers.com (wikianswers.com) forbids most punctuation in questions.
The wiki.answers.com website relies on specific programming. Adding additional punctuation before the question mark could interfere with that programming. Plus, a question always ends with a simple question mark.

An indirect question should be followed by a question mark (i.e., ?) the same as any other question. Direct: Where does he live? Indirect: Do you know where he lives?
no, there is only one. ================== I can't think of any example where ending a sentence with two periods would be necessary. Not even following the last word in a sentence that is being quoted within parentheses would I expect one to employ two periods. One, I humbly submit, is all that's ever needed. ------------------------- Placing more than one punctuation mark at the end of a sentence is superfluous. It is a rule of punctuation that there be only one form of "end punctuation" to a sentence. Whether the end punctuation be a period, question mark or exclamation point, only one is required. The rule applies also when the punctuation mark appears within parentheses or quotation marks; a second punctuation mark is both unnecessary and inappropriate.
There probably aren't any. An apostrophe is a "punctuation mark" and not a noun (like car) or a verb (like to jump) or an adjective (like happy). Punctuation marks usually do not have synonyms. An apostrophe is something you use in grammar to show possession or ownership. John's book. Mary's house. There is no other word for "apostrophe", and no other way to show possession other than using that punctuation mark.
Mixed punctuation actually means that you add a colon to the end of a salutation in your documents. Open means you do not add a colon; for example:Dear SusieThanks for calling!Whereas for mixed punctuation:Dear Susie:Thanks for calling!
