In the past, I could have sworn that changing the document language and then
just replacing " with " would do the trick, but when I tried that yesterday,
it didn't work.

Unless I have completely misunderstood your requirement.
You can stop Word converting ordinary quotes to smart quotes at tools
autocorrect options autoformat as you type.
alternatively
You can autoformat and insert your country's smart quote settings by tools
autocorrect options autoformat and set the smart quote preference. You
don't need a macro to do that. If however the autoformatting inserts the
wrong style of smart quote, then you can replace those by searching for eg
^0132

Well, in my region (Europe -- Lithuania) office 2003 automaticly
converts smart quotes " " with other smart quotes used in my native
language ,, " (ALT+0132 and ALT+0147).
So all I need to do, is to record a macro, that would search a first
quote " and would replace it with ,, , then search for closing quote
in an sentence and replace it with " (closing quotes are different
when using combination ALT+0147).
And that would be all the macro should be able to do.
Because when you have 100 of word pages with qoutes like this "",
there's a waste of time in finding and replacing them using Replace
dialog. That's why I need a macro.

The macro recorder doesn't always work as planned - and it's no
better in Word 2003. What *exactly* do you want to replace with what?

Yes, I know that using Replace function (not a macro) everything
works fine. But here's a problem, thah I need to automate this
proces using a macro. A I'm stuck here 
I believe i need to
upgrade to an Office 2003. It has no problem at this point.
Thanks
