Default Autotext returns wrong character

With some autotext entries they now appear with the wrong character. For
example I had an autotext entry that should return :
Jones'

But instead returns Jones with a box on the end where the apostrophe should be

Only on some autotext entries - I assume some sort of corruption - can
anybody point me in the right direction - I can recreate these - but was
curious what happned or is there a way to fix.

Hi Jeff,

Not sure, but I think AutoText is still stored as non-Unicode text, in some
one-byte code page/encoding.
Looks like the code page your AutoText uses does not have the curly
apostrophe.

Maybe check if the language is set to English (Tools Language Set
language)?

Greetings,
Klaus
