How to Fix Backward Smart Quote after Em Dash
You can force any kind of quote you want:
Ctrl+', ' = apostrophe or closing single quote
Ctrl+`, ` = opening single quote
Ctrl+', " = closing double quote
Ctrl+`, " = opening double quote
Alternatively, you can type a space before the quote and then delete it.

I've just switched to MS Word 2007 from WordPro. When I end a sentence of
dialogue with an em dash to show interrupted speech (e.g. "We know-") the
final quote is the wrong way (i.e an opening quote instead of a closing
one).
I've tried inserting a space after the em dash. Same problem. How do I
get
Word to realize this should be a closing quote?
