Are there language specific auto correction options like in Word? I need those German quotation marks fairly often, and typing code is definitely not an option. Same goes for dashes, can you not have Across turn -- into —?

Please check, if the following feature will work for you:
Tools -> Profile Settings -> crossDesk/Target Editor -> Autoreplace.

Thank you very much, that's what I was looking for!

It's working for the dash, but not for the quotation marks. Maybe the problem is something to do with the spaces. I said replace < "> with < „>, but it's not doing it. I'll try again...

I used Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator to create a customized keyboard layout with dashes and quotes available via key combinations with ALT. It's easy and works in all applications. You can find it here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964665

Well, I can always have Word autoreplace them afterwards, I suppose. It's a mystery to me, though, that Across doesn't have a feature that is such a commonplace in other kinds of word processing programs. Especially since it does do all kinds of other, language-specific things, like time and date settings. So I thought I just hadn't found it.
