This occurs in spite of the fact that the quotation marks and apostrophes show up just fine in the PB message box and they also appear in the PB; Submit your post, display.

> In text code and Psycho-Babble code, those characters are portrayed as the usual #34 and #44. However, MS Word uses keycode numbers #0146 #0147 #0148 to display those characters. They are fancier. However, it seems that you have discovered the incompatability.

I didn't know that you speak Geek so well!!
