Nothing built-in. But, here's a macro I wrote a while back that does it:

Sub QuoteIt()

Selection.Copy
Selection.TypeText Text:=Chr$(147) + Chr$(148)
Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
Selection.Paste
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
End Sub


This inserts curved quotes. If you want ditto marks (""), you can modify the
Chr$(147)+Chr$(148) as needed.

Is there a quick way to add quotation marks to a word, paragraph etc.? I
would like to be able to highlight a section and with one click or a hot
key
add opening and closing marks when I forget to use them. It takes several
steps to click by the beginning, type the marks, then click at the end and
type them again. If there is nothing like that, I wish someone would
invent
it. Using Office Word in Windows XP
