Dear Catherine and List:
Without seeing the word document in question I cannot answer your
question authoritatively, but the apostrophes may have been what
MS Word calls "Styled" apostrophes. These apostrophes are a bit
more decorative than a plain apostrophe in that they may have a
curl to them, either like an opening or closing parentheses sort
of.
When I was in grade school, opening and closing double quotes
were called 66 and 99 from their resemblance to those numbers and
when they're used in a Word document, they're called "Styled
quotes." Plain double quotes are just two vertical marks, sort
of like a double plain apostrophe.
While this isn't an answer to your question, I do hope it
explains how this sort of thing can get translated into
mysterious Braille symbols.
Brian
