How to replace curved apostrophe with straight apostrophe?

[Shmuel Wolfson]

For open and close quotes to straight quotes: type a straight quote in 
the document (by turning off smart quotes), then copy/paste the straight 
quote into the replace box. I just tried it and it works.

Curved apostrophe to straight apostrophe is a bit tricky since after 
turning off smart quotes you still get a curved apostrophe. I suspect 
that there is no separate character for a straight apostrophe. You might 
have to apply Courier New to get a straight apostrophe.

If I'm wrong, hopefully someone will correct me :)
