In Microsoft Word for Mac OS X, how do I change straight quotes to smart quotes?

If you import a text file into Microsoft Word for Mac OS X, or start a document with the AutoCorrect feature turned off, both single and double quotation marks may appear straight, i.e., as typewriter-style quotation marks or inch marks. To change these straight quotes to typeset appearance (i.e., smart quotes):

1. From the Tools menu, select AutoCorrect... .
   
   
2. In the AutoCorrect window, click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
   
   
3. Make sure "Straight quotation marks" with "smart quotation marks" is selected, and then click OK.
   
   
4. In Word 2011, form the Edit menu, select Find and then choose Replace... . In Word 2008, from the Edit menu, select Replace... .
   
   
5. In Word 2011, the Search sidebar will appear. In the "Search Document" field, enter either the  '  (single quotation mark) or  "  (double quotation mark) character. Then enter the same character in the "Replace With" field.
   
   In Word 2008, the Find and Replace window will open. In the "Find what:" field, enter either the  '  (single quotation mark) or  "  (double quotation mark) character. Then enter the same character in the "Replace with:" field.
   
   
6. Click Replace All to replace all instances of the straight quote with the equivalent smart quote.
