In Word and it does write apostrophe's, & my key works.

[jolains]

What coud the problem be? In other programs it works.... this is highly
irritating. Am using Word 2004 for Mac

(see in this window it works eg. cat's)

 

[Bill Dilworth]

The apostrophe works in all current versions of PowerPoint and Word. Could
you be a little more specific with your question?

One possibility is that the apostrophe is being used as a system shortcut of
some kind. I would check with people that know Mac operating systems
better, perhaps in the newsgroup.
