In Word 2003 and 2002, not sure about earlier versions, the grammar checker
flags unbalanced quotes indirectly sometimes when you enable the
"Punctuation required with quotes" option. Tools - Options - Grammar &
Spelling tab - Settings button. This isn't exactly what you want, but it can
help.

I recently converted from WordPerfect to Word. One feature I really miss is
that WordPerfect could flag a missing close quote during the spell check.
In
other words, if you use an open quote at the beginning of a quote, but
fail
to add a close quote, the program would flag that during spell check. Word
doesn't seem to do that during the spell check or any other time. Is this
feature available at all in Word?
