Default Straight Vs Curly Quotation Marks

Is it possible in Word 2007 to get straight quotation marks for apostrophes and curly ones for single and double quotation marks as you type?

What you can do is press Ctrl+Z after a particular character has been inserted (converted) by Word; this will revert to the straight quote/apostrophe.

Stefan -- I tried placing the cursor after the curly quote and pressing Ctl z and I also tried highlighting the curly quote and pressing Ctl Z. Neither one did anything. what am I doing wrong?

Undo only works while you are typing, not afterwards, I'm afraid.
