I don't see any single quotes in this example, or any double quotes in places that are relevant to the problem. Perhaps, given that your data originates in Word, it is using "typographical quotes" rather than ordinary ASCII quotes. These are notoriously troublesome because they have a different encoding in Windows CP1252 from the standard Unicode encoding. Check therefore that when you say your XML is encoded in UTF-8, it really is.
