Default problem with automatic formatting on quotation marks

Here's my problem: I've got a large document that's been pasted together from multiple sources. I did a <select all> and changed the font to Adobe Garamond Pro. It looks great, but in some places it automatically formats the open and close quotation marks mixed up. In other places it displays non-directional quotation marks like this: "quotation". I've manually corrected most of the document with find/replace, but I can't automatically <replace all> because it tries to for the wrong quotation mark...like it's confused. For example, if there is a dash before the quotation mark, it automatically tries to use another open-quotation mark.

Looking at the font table, it seems like Word manipulates the font graphic...rotating and curving it based on whether it thinks it's an open or close quotation.

Is there some kind of grammar/spell check rule that can find wrong or orphaned quotation marks?
