Default Change straight quotes to curly quotes in an existing document

With "Replace Straight Quotes with Curly Quotes" turned on, Ctrl-H
(Find-Replace), type ' in the Find box, type ' in the Replace With
box, and click "Replace All." Repeat with " in the Find and in the
Replace With boxes.

Should you ever want to go back to straight quotes, for instance if
you were copying some of your text to email, repeat the procedures
with the replacement option unchecked.

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.
