Times New Roman Font Issue?

I have a problem with my quotation marks. A large portion of my quotation marks are straight, like this: ", but then others look like the typical, curlier quotation mark. Apparently, they're in the same set, both Times New Roman, but look different, and it's bugging me. I want all to look like the curlier quotation mark, but I can't do it. When I try and select and replace in the auto-replacer, it can tell no difference between the two types. The only way I can do it now is by manually deleting the straight looking quotes and typing in the curlier one (the curly one types naturally when I type a quote, fortunately). I actually don't even know how to reproduce this straight quote. Any solution is an easy 10 points, although a solution might be hard to come by, I know... Thanks for the help, regardless.


I am running Mac's Microsoft Word, the newest version with the latest update. However, I don't think that's the problem. If it is, all the better if there's a solution.

To find this setting, on the Tools menu choose AutoCorrect. That opens Word's AutoCorrect preferences.

The first preference "Automatically correct spelling and grammar while you type" must be checked.
Then, on the Autoformat as you Type tab of the dialog, check the box for "Replace as you type > Straight quotation marks with smart quotation marks."
