Can Word be set-up to change curly quotes to straight quotes when.
you cut & paste the information in and don't type it? I tried autocorrect,
but it only works when you type. |

Actually, what g-n-o meant in this instance was "with Smart Quotes turned
OFF." -- Suzanne S.

The following will take account of your usual preference in relation to the automatic insertion of smart quotes and replace any smart quotes in the document with straight quotes. Sub ChangeQuotes() Dim sOption As String sOption = Options.AutoFormatAsYouTypeReplaceQuotes Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory Options.AutoFormatAsYouTypeReplaceQuotes = False Selection.Find.ClearFormatting Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "[" & ChrW(8220) & ChrW(8221) & "]" .Replacement.Text = """" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchAllWordForms = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchWildcards = True End With Selection.Find.Execute replace:=wdReplaceAll Options.AutoFormatAsYouTypeReplaceQuotes = sOption End Sub See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |

Incidentally, to change the other way, run autoformat with the convert quotes option set - or by macro Sub ChangeToSmartQuotes() Dim sOption As String sOption = Options.AutoFormatReplaceQuotes Options.AutoFormatReplaceQuotes = True Selection.Document.Kind = wdDocumentNotSpecified Selection.Range.AutoFormat Options.AutoFormatReplaceQuotes = sOption WordBasic.AcceptAllChangesInDoc End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |
