Default replace french style quotation marks (guillemets) with smartquote

If it works like 2003, then some part of your document is set to
Language French. Select All; then Tools Language Set Language and
choose one of the Englishes. It won't convert the guillemets back for
you, but at least it won't automatically insert them any more.

To Find/Replace all of them, select one, and Copy/Paste it into the
Find window of the Find/Replace pane.

My Word 2000 program has suddenly started, at random it seems, doing

I normally use, even when the citation of an article is in English. *Yet I
cannot even type a guillemet in find and replace to change it, nor has any
other function addressed the problem. *Can you please help?
