Default Quotation Marks in Word

This will keep you from having "smart quotes," but it doesn't address the
specific issue that you're getting the wrong kind of smart quotes, and that
results from having the wrong language selected. In English, you should be
getting what are called "6 and 9" quotation marks. That is, the opening
quotes are curved like an opening parenthesis, with a dot at the bottom, and
the closing quotes are curved like a closing parenthesis, with a dot at the
top, but both characters are raised--neither appears at the text baseline.
The low quotation marks are used in some other languages.
