Has anyone noticed that quotation marks (" ") transferred from MS Word are not recognized as quotation marks in Access?

I will sometimes use the text-coloring effects of MS word to sort out, visually, some functions in some of my more complicated expressions if I mess up the parenthesis or quotes, but when I transfer the expression back to Access, the quotes aren't recognized.

If you've had this problem/quirk, have you found a way around it?
 
I haven't but maybe changing the curly quotes to straight will fix it.

Here:

Change curly quotes to straight quotes and vice versa
Microsoft Word automatically changes straight quotation marks ( ' or " ) to curly (smart or typographer's) quotes (
default.aspx
or
default.aspx
) as you type.
To turn this feature on or off:

  1. On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options, and then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
  2. Under Replace as you type, select or clear the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box.
Note You can find and replace all instances of single or double curly quotes with straight quotes in your document. To do this, clear the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box on the AutoFormat As You Type tab. On the Edit menu, click Replace. In both the Find what and Replace with boxes, type ' or ", and then click Find Next or Replace All.
To replace all straight quotes with curly quotes, select the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box, and repeat the find and replace procedure.
