Why do single and double quotes in PowerPoint always show up as funny
characters in Usenet?


(U+201C) left
(U+201D) right
(U+0022) straight

electric quote mode (smart quotes), a desktop publishing thing...

"Change curly quotes to straight quotes and vice versa"

"As you type text, some Microsoft Office programs automatically
change straight quotation marks ( ' or " ) to curly quotation marks
(also known as "smart quotes" or typographer's quotes). You can turn
on or off this feature.
"

"Powerpoint
1. On the File tab, click Options.
2. Click Proofing, and then click AutoCorrect Options.
3. In the AutoCorrect dialog box, click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
4. Under Replace as you type, select or clear the "Straight quotes"
with “smart quotes” check box.
5. Click OK.
"

After you correct that, then both your tools are following a
"non-typographers" convention :-)

Just a guess,
