The language setting in Tools | Language is not the issue here, but rather
the keyboard layout selected in Control Panel | Regional Options. You have
an international keyboard layout selected.

I am using MS Word XP, and I'm having a weird problem. When I go to type
in
an apostrophe, I am getting a funny looking E (it's a lower case e with an
accent mark from a foreign language). I have tried three language settings
in
MS Word, and have tried making them all default, and without them being
default. I tried English (Canada), which is what I am wanting to use, as
I'm
in Canada, English (U.S.) and English (U.K.). One of those three languages
should certainly work! An earlier document I typed inserted the
apostrophes
just fine, but when I tried typing an apostrophe in that same document
now,
as well as in my new document, it comes up with the French e.

I'm writing an essay for university, and if I can't get the apostrophe to
work, then I can't submit the assignment. Please help.

Thanks,
Corey
