In the Replace as you type section (at the top), select the “Straight” quotes with “smart quotes” check box, then click OK.* Word 2007: Click the large Microsoft button in the top left, click Word Options, click Proofing, then click the AutoCorrect Options button in the AutoCorrect options section. * Word 2003: From the menu, select Tools > AutoCorrect Options. I’ve adapted these steps from those provided on the MVPs site: So here are my steps for removing single quotes surrounding a field name and formatting the enclosed text with bold. I found what I was looking for here, but there was a critical step missing. Word’s Help, particularly the Help that goes out to the Microsoft website (I hate that!), is difficult to navigate unless you know what you’re looking for, so I turned to one of my favourite websites: the Word MVPs site ( ). However, when faced with a 50 page document (small compared to others I’ve received) peppered with field names enclosed in quote marks, it was time to bite the bullet! I knew that Word had some powerful wildcard/regular expression functions in its Find/Replace function, but they are very hidden and they’re not something I’ve needed to learn. I can’t write or record a macro as I might replace legitimate quotation marks, especially single quotes used for apostrophes. Which means that I have a lot of find/replace actions to do in a long document. My preferred typographic style for field names is bold, no quotes. Occasionally I’ve received a Word document that has all the field names enclosed in quotation marks.

A word of warning about this procedure: If your document contains programming code that uses quote marks, you shouldn’t use this method without trying it on a copy first.
