Default Problems with what I believe are stray spaces with word

This is not a Word issue. Check the Windows Regional settings and especially
the keyboard layout.

HISTORY: About 18 months ago I was doing some testing on my PC for
chinese language support, which screwed up quite a few things and I
quickly removed. HOWEVER, one of the things that appears to have
stuck, I "assume" from this event, is that when I use the ' or "
characters in Word (or outlook in non-text mode) I get a whopping big
space either before or after the single or double quote mark -
depending on opening/closing

I had thought that re-installing word may have fixed it 12 months ago
-- no joy. I have recently upgraded to Word 2007 (another story!!)
and I still have this strange behaviour!

So, after all this time I'm hopeful that someone can point me in the
right direction to get things "back to normal English" (you may notice
I tend to quote words a bit, so this is obviously VERY ANNOYING!)

Any/all help gratefull accepted
