Punctuation appears in sent emails as boxes (using Outlook) ??

I have Windows XP and use Outlook as my email client & Word as preferred
medium. Some punctuation marks e.g. commas, inverted commas appear to the
recipient as boxes, and if I receive a reply, the sender's pnctuation is OK
but my returned message shows the same boxes. I don't even know where to
begin on this one. Can anyone offer a suggestion that doesnt involve
reloading Microsof Office?

Have you tries Control Panel > Regional and Language Options to see if they
are appropriate for you.

it's either encoding or missing fonts. What encoding is your email set for
and what email client is the recipient using?
