Apostrophes

When I paste Word text to the Internet or view email (Eudora), apostrophes display as small boxes (squares)
This began happening about two months ago

Any ideas as to why apostrophes are displaying as apostrophes

Thanks for any help!

Hi Wendy

You may have turned on the option in Tools > AutoCorrect > AutoFormat
As You Type to replace 'straight' quotes with 'smart' quotes -- ones
that curve in opposite directions for the opening and closing quotes.
This also affects apostrophes.
