Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Something which has been annoying me about OpenOffice recently is it's
incorrect use of quotation marks in dialog strings. An example of this
is the replace existing file dialog. Openoffice displays the string in
quotation marks, so the dialog says:

--------------------------------------------
Save

"The file already exists. Overwrite?"

No / Yes 
-------------------------------------------

Why is this string quoted? I can't see any logical (grammatical) reason
for it, and it looks out of place since no other programs do this.
