Default Word AutoCorrect doesn't work after punctuation - fix it.

In Word/AutoCorrect I added:

Replace (two right angle brackets) With » (Right Guillmets), and
Replace (two left angle brackets) With « (Left Guillmets)

If I type (or ) after a punctuation mark the substitution does not
happen.

I think it would be great if this could be fixed.

I also have these AutoCorrect entries and find that they don't work very
reliably. If you are working in a language (French?) in which these are
required, you'll find that Word inserts them automatically (as "smart
quotes") when you change the language of the selection to French.
