Hi,
This is most likely to be a locale-related issue, or possibly because
your have bogus Arial fonts installed, or it could be an upstream bug,
of course.
There were some fonts in AbiWord that were installed as "Arial" but were
not Arial really, and I think that would create this problem. I guess
there is also a problem in the import filter if Word's quote doesn't get
translated to the same character that you would get in OOo.
The attached document views fine in Debian OOo 1.1.1-3 for me, but the
title bar displays the apostrophe in the file as "0x0109", which
suggests to me that the original Word doc is in a non-C locale, whereas
your bug report suggests that OOo may well be using "C" locale.
According to one upstream issue that might be this, the problem is fixed
in OOo 1.1.1, so perhaps you could reconfirm that the problem still
exists, or close this if it does not.
The alleged upstream issue is at:
