Usually errors like:

Code:
I told him, " I know, he said ".   <- space in between QM and text.

I told him,"I know, he said".   <- no space before first QM.

I told him, "I know, he said.  <- Forgotten QM @ end.
I told him, I know, he said".  <- Forgotten QM @ beginning.
Anyone knows how to create a macro for this?

Thanks.
This kind of thing is why you have to proof-read books; there's really no substitute for the "human touch". It probably takes me about 50 hours work to produce what I consider to be a "nicely finished" version of one of my Charles Dickens books, for example. Sure, you can produce an eBook in 10 minutes, but that's really not the point, is it?
