I'm working with a document that now has a mix of straight and curly
quotes. I'd like to change all the straight quotes to curly quotes
throughout the document.

Obviously I can edit it by hand. But is there any simpler way to
systematically change the straight quotes to curly quotes?

I'm using Word 2003.

Thanks.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly...who knows
the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a
worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat." - TR
