I have a peculiar problem in Microsoft Office 2007 (Word). When I am using single quotes, the first time I type a ' it appears as a , instead.

For example, typing ''' translates to ,'' in Word, necessitating me to go back and delete the comma so that I can correctly single-quote words.

Is there a solution to this? Also, the dictionary was set to German when I first started using the application, but I set it to US English after that.
