Word defaults to using curly quotes rather than standard straight quotes.
That's the cause of your problem. Go into the Autocorrect options (it's in
the Tools menu in Word 2003, not sure how to find it in Word 2007, since I
don't have that) and turn off the Replace as you type option for converting
straight quotes to curly quotes.
Curly quotes are pretty, but they cause all sorts of problems if you paste
them into other software that's not expecting them.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Characters in LPEX unreadable on green screen
Hi All,
I keep getting caught out with this : copying and pasting from a Word
document to LPEX editor. The apostrophe is unreadable with SEU. As I don't
use SEU, I don't find out until it is too late and then the greenscreeners
start complaining.
If I do DSPPFM on the source member, I can see that the apostrophe I
pasted from Word has a Hex value of 3F instead of 7D. I don't suppose
there is something I could tweek in the preferences to stop this from
happening?
