Open Quotes after Soft Enter in WD 2002

Perplexing problem I'm facing in Word 2002:
I'd like to have an open quote then a close quote on subsequent line
while using a soft enter (Shift-Enter) in a document.

For Example:
"<-- (Would be Open Quote)type something... then close quote --> "
Then hit soft enter (Shift-Enter)
" --> I want this to be an open quote, but it is always a close quote.

Is there anyway to get Word to think that even after a soft enter tha
it is now a new line so that it will begin with an open quote?

This works in previous versions of Word, didn't know if there was a
option I need to turn on or off for this to work...

The only way I know how so far is to actually use the Character Map an
put it in there with Alt-0147... There has to be a user-friendly way o
doing this...

Thanks
 
Use Alt+0147 on the numeric keypad to insert an open quote

Annoying, isn't it? You can manually enter quotes as follows:

Opening Single Quote: Ctrl+`, ' (that is, simultaneously press Ctrl and the
grave accent key--usually at the top left on US keyboards--then release and
press the apostrophe key)

Closing Single Quote: Ctrl+', ' (Ctrl+Apostrophe, Apostrophe)

Opening Double Quote: Ctrl+`, " (Ctrl+Grave, Shift+Apostrophe)

Closing Double Quote: Ctrl+', " (Ctrl+Apostrophe, Shift+Apostrophe
