[QUOTE=chorpler;282536]If you have Microsoft Word, it will do this automatically. Just make sure that "Replace straight quotes with smart quotes" is turned in in the Tools ... AutoCorrect Options ... AutoFormat tab, and then do a search-and-replace, and just type in a regular quote in both the search and replace boxes, and do "Replace All." It automatically converts all the straight quotes into curly quotes. Repeat with an apostrophe in both search and replace boxes if you want apostrophes to be converted to curly apostrophes too.

I do this. But it needs to be proof-read, especially smart quotes after dashes. And a check for 'em, 'tis, 'twas is necessary because the apostrophe is always wrongly placed, and needs correcting.
