I just tested for this problem with Mac Office X Service Release 1 and
it worked fine. Which browser are you using and have you checked the
source code of the HTML? If you read the source code as a text file, I
would be surprised if you didn't find the proper double-quote
characters.
My guess is that it is a character encoding issue, and that you need to
check the encoding that your browser is choosing when it reads the html.
My test file worked correctly with Safari and Explorer, but both Camino
and Phoenix (which both are Mozilla/Gecko based) displayed ÒHelloÓ.
Changing the encoding to Western Roman fixed the issue, it was Latin.
I'm not sure why you are getting the i-hat character and I am getting
O-accent, probably a font difference.
