Hi
When I send messages to PC user(MS Outlook) in quotation say, “high price”, the message appear to them look like this 3high price2. With the no. 3 and 2 as superscript instead of “”. Would appreciate anyone advice. What I must set in my preference so that the message appear properly to them?

If you send your emails in plain text, you won't have this problem. Or, if you want to use HTML, go to Tools/AutoCorrect/AutoFormat, and UNCHECK "Replace straight quotes with curly quotes". (You see, mine are straight. You can forward mine to your PC friend and all will be well.) That will fix the quotes, but you would still have problems with "special" characters such as é, ü, �m ,£ and so on. They will be wrong. To ensure that all special characters are correct on Windows (if you're not sending simultaneously to Mac), I think you can go to Format/Character Set/Western European (Windows) before you send the message and it should get there OK.
Unicode is supposed to solve this sort of problem, eventually, but it is (almost of necessity) slow in coming. For an interesting article on the topic, see <http://www.applelust.com/alust/oped/applepeel/archives/peel_33.shtml> by Pierre Igot. It’s a bit wordy, but it does state the problem fairly well and offers some ope that eventually it will be resolved.
