I always despise the funky characters that Microsoft decided to put into Word documents for simple things like quotes and dashes. Extracted (borrowed!) from the safetext() ColdFusion UDF function, the following ColdFusion code will do the trick:

<cfset goodText=replaceList(badText, chr(8216) & "," &
chr(8217) & "," & chr(8220) & "," & chr(8221) & "," & chr(8212) & "," &
chr(8213) & "," & chr(8230),"',',"","",--,--,...")>
