You should read the other responses, because Dian provided a macro. But I'm
interested in what you said: What do you do with these character codes? All
you said is that James can search for them. But you didn't say how.

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.
