Default Quotation Marks in Word

Microsoft Word automatically changes straight quotation marks ( ' or " ) to
curly (smart or typographer's) quotes ( or ) as you type.

To turn this feature on or off:

On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options, and then click the AutoFormat
As You Type tab.
Under Replace as you type, select or clear the "Straight quotes" with "smart
quotes" check box.
Note You can find and replace all instances of single or double curly
quotes with straight quotes in your document. To do this, clear the "Straight
quotes" with "smart quotes" check box on the AutoFormat As You Type tab. On
the Edit menu, click Replace. In both the Find what and Replace with boxes,
type ' or ", and then click Find Next or Replace All.

To replace all straight quotes with curly quotes, select the "Straight
quotes" with "smart quotes" check box, and repeat the find and replace
procedure.

This information is from the Help menu in MS Word.

Help! When I am typing and go to use open quote (example) "whatevertexthere"
the opening quote comes out on the bottom and the closing quote comes out
