Apostrophes vs. = symbols
Possibly you are using the US keyboard layout instead of UK or vice versa?
Alternatively, if you're seeing this not on creation but in an existing file, there's a good chance it was converted from WordPerfect and the quotes were inserted using the WP Typographic Symbols font, which is not installed on the current PC. In such cases there's no recourse but to replace the incorrect characters. -- Suzanne S.
