However, the macro will only find straight quotes. To fix the macro so that it finds all occurrences of quote pairs add the line: Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 If you prefer, you can utilize the following macro to do the trick: Perhaps the easiest way is to simply use the macro recorder to record the above steps. If you need to do quite a bit of formatting of information between quotes in this manner, the best bet is to create a macro that you can assign to a shortcut key or to the Quick Access Toolbar. (It doesn't discriminate if you are using Search and Replace without wildcards turned on.) When you have Use Wildcards selected, Word discriminates between regular and smart quotes. By using the brackets surrounding the two types of quotes on both sides of a vertical bar, you are telling Word to match with either type of opening or closing quote. If you are getting your documents (the ones you are formatting) from someone else, you don't know right off the bat if they used smart quotes, regular quotes, or a combination of both. It is interesting to note that you must search for * and not simply for "*". If you want to change the quotes back to normal, you can do another wildcard search, this time looking for simply (step 2, with the last two quotes being opening and closing smart quotes) and replacing it with Not Bold formatting (step 5). Notice that when Word is done with this search and replace, it will have bolded not only the text within the quotes, but the quotes themselves.
