Word 2000 (windows) chooses to set charset=windows-1252" (in the HTML meta
tags) as the Character set.
I think it should be "charset=iso-8859-1" this is a standard character set
for all platforms (I think),
I am not so sure if the "windows-1252" would turn out funky on other
operating systems.
In the Windows version you can go to the Tools menu and choose Options and
under the General tab click the
Web Options. Choose the Encoding tab and under "save this document as"
select either "Western European (ISO)" or
"US-ASCII" I bet this will solve the problem.
Knock on Wood.

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.
