How do you make quotation marks....

...........Word 2003 default to the curved variety instead of the straight up and down double quotation marks?

The font needs to be changed. For example, Times New Roman has the curved quotation marks. Click Format, Font, set the font you want and the size, etc.. then hit the "DEFAULT" button at the bottom of that window.
Hi all

There's actually an option in Word to do this. It's found in Tools -> AutoCorrect Options (you may have to expand the menu) -> "AutoFormat" tab -> Check the box labelled "straight quotes" with "smart quotes"

There's also an identical option in Tools -> AutoCorrect Options -> "AutoFormat As You Type" tab -> "straight quotes" with "smart quotes", so place a check on this one too.

But, in all my years of experience, this has no effect when using fonts like Arial, which probably don't support this feature. Maybe it's a bug on my com only, but I can't confirm that... Perhaps you can do that for me =)

Good Luck!
