You can use this macro to find what you want...
Sub FindCurlyQuotes()
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = ChrW(8220)
.Forward = True
End With
Selection.Find.Execute
End Sub
The above will find the left curly quote...to find the right side, change
the code to ChrW(8221). To find straight quotes, just use the standard "
find.
I assume you know how to use the code? But just in case, here's an article
for ya...

==================
So I take it you don't want to stop at each find?
==================
Actually, I do want to stop at each find.
I'm editing text and code.
The fonts/formatting of the text and code sections are different.
So, if I could do a find on curly, and just click next, next, next, I could
step through the document. As long as I kept ending up in a text area, there
would be no problem. But if I found a curly in a code section, I'd know
instantly I had a problem.
As it is, I find both curly and text and so I have to
a) look close to see which one it is
b) look close to see which section it is
c) engage my brain to see if that type is allowed in that section
d) repeat
Your suggestion is EXCELLENT for doing the replace. But I'd like to filter
the
FIND to make it "easier".
I'm getting the impression it is not possible to filter the find.
