I take copy one set of quotes, e.g., the front ones, paste them in the Find
What space, then type in the quotes that are on my keyboard, which are straight
quotes, in the Replace With, and hit Replace all. Then I do that with the end
quotes. If, as someone posted, the apostrophe is what is backward, I do the
same only replace it with my apostrophe. I just tested that out and it worked.
I haven't had a problem with apostrophes but I have had the problem of backward
quotes; usually they're just the ones, at the beginning of the dialogue of
quote, though.
