I have about a 350 page manuscript that has extensive single
and double quoting, all in "ASCII" format (e.g. as you see
here).  I would like to be able to change them to matching
typographic quotes (e.g. `` and '') but *really don't want to
do it by hand* [the very idea fills me with great horror, frankly!]

Is there some way to accomplish this?  I've looked through the
documentation I have with Microsoft Word (4.0b) and it talks
extensively about how nice smart quotes are, but doesn't make
reference to how to *do* it.

        Please respond via email.
                                        Thanks!
