... at least for Word. It is CTRL-SHIFT-5 on my system. You can find out by placing your cursor on the respective Quickinsert icon in the ribbon. To use it, simply select the text to be surrounded and hit CTRL-SHIFT-F6, that's all. I use it daily (in 2014, in 2015 it is even automatic).

The international layout is primarily aimed at people with a standard US keyboard layout. Most people translating into French use AZERTY keyboards. Putting the international layout on top of a physical AZERTY keyboard is not going to be very useful. Better modify the French layout with the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator. | |

Walter Thanks Word also has smart quotes, so you can simply type " and press the space bar. I have managed to create the shortcut you mentioned in Studio Quickinsert. However, it appears to work only on a certain type of file, for the current project. When you start a new project, then you need to go back to Quickinsert, which is time consuming for a simple task. I'll try Paul's other solution later when I have a bit more time, but it looks complicated...
