Default 2007: Make Auto-format options document-specific

On any given day, I have to deal with documents that require completely
different auto-format setttings. For example, using normal modern documents,
the default auto-format settings are fine (change quotes to smart quotes,
change double dash to long hyphen, etc.) But I am also processing documents
from the 1940's that need to stay as closely as possible to the formatting of
the orignal documents (thus no smart quotes, no changing of double dashes to
long dashes, etc.).

I am constantly screwing up documents because I forgot to change the
auto-format settings and started working with one type of document while
another type of document's auto-format settings were still in effect.

Is there any way to save the auto-format settings with the document and then
have the autoi-formatting options automatically set to the correct settings
when I open that document again later?

This is a MAJOR hassle.
