I think this problem is partly due to that Word (at least my version) has the default setting to replace straight quotes with smart quotes, so if you think that you have made glyphs for " and ' in the cells appearing somewhere on the first row in a font windows in FontCreator, Word will promptl...

Hi, I've seen similar things to this occuring also in FCP5.5.
