Smart quotes

Here's a curly one g

I am editing a document that has many of its smart quotes the wrong way
round. Are there different codes for the opening and closing curly quotes so
that I can force the direction, correcting some anomolalies, so that I don't
have to accept what appears to be Word's built-in automatic curler (which is
not always right)?

Yes, I believe they are given in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/InsertSpecChars.htm, but here they a

Opening single quote: Ctrl+`, '
Closing single quote (apostrophe): Ctrl+', '
Opening double quote: Ctrl+`, "
Closing double quote: Ctrl+', "

Look in the Insert Symbols dialog at characters 201C and 201D, in the
General Punctuation section. You can use those Unicode character numbers
followed by Alt+X, or you can use the built-in shortcuts, Ctrl+`," and
Ctrl+'," (the first one is Ctrl and the grave accent, then a double quote;
the second one is Ctrl and the single quote, then a double quote). Similarly
for the curly single quotes, characters 2018 and 2019.
