One thing I notice is if I write the following in Word:

blah's

and then cut and paste this in notepad, the apostrophe is different from the
normal apostrophe as entered directly in notepad. The apostrophe is slanted
a little bit.

I don't know much about character translation, but I know Word has different
types of apostrophes, opening and closing. Any way this can be worked around?

As a test, in RT2, copying over from Word works fine. But in RT3 it does not.
