This post is not about how to disable the smart-quotes function. It is about changing what words thinks is a good stylistic practice.



I write mostly in Spanish. In this language, the original quotation marks are the angular ones, also called guillemets (« »). However, due to the influence of the English language, nowadays the most common ones are the curly inverted commas (“ ”).



I would like to know how I can change the behaviour in which Word detects the dumb quotes and replaces them with smart ones, but the ones I want (the guillemets). I know for a fact that Word does this in French (in fact, it does this so well that it actually adds a space that is mandatory in its use).


Thanks in advance!
