Using quotation marks

Question

Automatically convert quotations in the form of “abc” to become ``abc"

I have a Microsoft Word document whose text I have copied into a LaTeX document. One of the many changes I need to make before it will look good, is to replace all quotation marks such as

"hello"

with the LaTeX version

``hello''

Is there some setting or macro I can define which will tell LaTeX to treat the former quotation marks exactly as it would treat the latter?

I usually 'fix' this by copying the opening quotes and replacing them with the appropriate LaTeX quote (backticks or two regular quotes). — Zsub, Apr 08 '12 at 15:00
