Carmella, In Word, uncheck the box that says "replace straight quotes with smart quotes." You're getting those funky looking apostrophes because Word is putting a fancy symbol in there instead of the apostrophe. In fact, I uncheck all that "AutoFormat as You Type" nonsense. I don't need Bill Gates to format for me.
