I'm not saying the question mark might not be a problem too; it
doesn't yield any unusual behavior for me, but I may not have tested
it enough. But any time I put the apostrophe in, I get problems. In
the link to the worksheet posted, behavior like this resulted, which
is unrelated to the question mark.
