I type in an apostrophe in Word, but it comes up as a funny lookin

[Corey W.]

I am using MS Word XP, and I'm having a weird problem. When I go to type in
an apostrophe, I am getting a funny looking E (it's a lower case e with an
accent mark from a foreign language). I have tried three language settings in
MS Word, and have tried making them all default, and without them being
default. I tried English (Canada), which is what I am wanting to use, as I'm
in Canada, English (U.S.) and English (U.K.). One of those three languages
should certainly work! An earlier document I typed inserted the apostrophes
just fine, but when I tried typing an apostrophe in that same document now,
as well as in my new document, it comes up with the French e.

I'm writing an essay for university, and if I can't get the apostrophe to
work, then I can't submit the assignment. Please help.

Thanks,
Corey

The language setting in Tools | Language is not the issue here, but rather
the keyboard layout selected in Control Panel | Regional Options. You have
an international keyboard layout selected.
