No, I'm not sure. But in my small table some double quotes were  
present and were acceptable to LaTeX (in the sense that the document  
compiled without error) but they produced straight double-quotes  
instead of the nicer looking curly ones LaTeX gives me if I put two  
ordinary quotes side by side. In case this was a Word special  
character, I tried entering a double quote from my keyboard but the  
result was still a straight double quote in the resulting pdf.

Am I missing something?
