I've just done this, in order to get the quotation marks consistents in a short story collection, pieced from various sources. This is what I did:
1. Search for double quotes (used for internal quotations). Replace with @ or # as a placeholder.
2. Replace single-quote plus space, and space plus single quote with doublequotes and spaces.
3. Replace @ or # with single-quotes.
4. Then check the lot, just in case. (Sometimes authors add punctuation immediately after closing a quotation.)
I did all this in Word, then put the edited version into Book Designer.
