How to Change Quotations on Word 2007
If the quotation marks appear to be changing in Word, they may be set to automatically format. By default, Word 2007 changes quotations from straight quotes to smart quotes, but you can change this setting. The AutoFormat feature handles the formatting on your page automatically. AutoFormat gives you two options when you change formatting. You can replace the formatting of your text or apply the formatting after you type each word.

Very helpful. I was trying to work on my novel on two different computers and the bleeping quotation marks kept changing on me. Distracting. This fixed the problem. Thanks.
