Hi James,
to find the curly ones, you can use the FIND dialog with the
appropriate character; for example, in the Arial font, the lefthand
curly quotes are represented by ALT+0147 and the right hand ones by
ALT+0148. This is admittedly kludgy as you have to search for the
left hand ones and the right hand ones separately, but if you're
simply checking finding the left hand one may be enough. If you enter
the normal character for a quote (U+0022) it finds all left and right
quotes, whether curly or not.
Perhaps writing a macro in VBA could simplify the process.
