If the quotation marks are actually more-or-less correct font characters,
try searching for for " and replacing with " (that's a "straight quote" in
both cases). Fortunately, searching for " will also find "curly" quote
characters, and AutoFormat As You Type will result in their being replaced
with the (mostly) correct ones.

Here's my problem: I've got a large document that's been pasted together
from multiple sources. I did a select all and changed the font to Adobe
Garamond Pro. It looks great, but in some places it automatically formats
the
open and close quotation marks mixed up. In other places it displays
non-directional quotation marks like this: "quotation". I've manually
corrected most of the document with find/replace, but I can't
automatically
replace all because it tries to for the wrong quotation mark...like it's
confused. For example, if there is a dash before the quotation mark, it
automatically tries to use another open-quotation mark.
Looking at the font table, it seems like Word manipulates the font
graphic...rotating and curving it based on whether it thinks it's an open
or
close quotation.
Is there some kind of grammar/spell check rule that can find wrong or
orphaned quotation marks?
