Changing curly quotes to straight quotes

N

novice04

I’ve done a search on this topic and already tried to advice to type Alt + 0147 in the find box and to replace this with straight quotes, but I just get two curly quotes when I do this. The “Replace straight quotes with smart quotes†AutoFormat box was already unchecked before I opened the document. I'm using TNR 11 point font. Any suggestions for a find/replace or macro to replace curly single and double quotes with straight single and double quotes?

You're on the right track by having the box unchecked.
Now just go to Edit > Replace and Replace " with ". Same
for single quotes. Changing AutoFormat will not change
what you have already typed.

Answered in detail on ms.public.word.newusers. Just replace quotes with
quotes. Please don't post to multiple newsgroups, it makes people trying to
help waste time in duplicating answers.
