I want to convert quotation marks to Guillemet using Microsot Word wildcards or Regex.
Example
Before
"Quotation marks", also called "quotes", "quote marks", quotemarks, speech marks, inverted commas or talking marks
After
«Quotation marks», also called «quotes», «quote marks», quotemarks, speech marks, inverted commas or talking marks
Any help is welcomed!

The regex for matching text and quotation marks:
"(.*?)"
Then you can replace using group 1 (usually $1
depending what you are using), and surrounding by guillemets.
See this in action.
A note about the regex: I am using *?
quantifier (or lazy quantifier) which matches between zero and unlimited times, as few times as possible, expanding as needed.
