Converting WS7 quotation marks in Word

[GenReno]

Does anyone know an easy (global) way to convert the WordStar style quotation marks into the MSWord style quote marks?  

I have two multi-hundred page documents with lots of dialog and quotation marks and I'd like to transfer them into MSWord as I'm converting to Word with Mike's wonderful overlay.

I have downloaded the WordStar file conversion utility so I can automatically convert my WS7 files to MSWord from within Word.   Everything transfers beautifully, except the quotation marks.  

Thanks.

What you are experiencing I think is the problem with going from a DOS codepage 437 or 850 to a Windows codepage 1512 (?).  How I do this is use a PS printer driver for getting curly quotes (which is what I think you are referring to).  This done using a printed subsitution for the guillemots.  Once imported into word do a find/replace for leftguillemot to leftcurlquote and rightguillemot to rightcurlyquote.
