The so-called apostrophes from MS Word could be single quote
characters from the area UTF+201x. Maybe it works to C-q in some
(*scratch*) buffer and then paste just that "apostrophe." You might
see the bytes that would be actually inserted. The three bytes of
UTF-8 representation (E2 80 99 for ’, RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK)
can be interpreted as this: E2 is in 7-bit idiom C-r (single 8th bit
set + remainder r), the other two bytes can be any 7-bit rubbish.
GNU Emacs offers some "translations" for X selections – lookup info!
X11 also has some configuration options. A better option is to
upgrade to GNU Emacs 22.3.

Isn't vi that text editor with two modes... one that beeps and one
that corrupts your file?
