Lieven, that removal by Excel of apostrophes occurs only when the apostrophe is initial. Excel uses an initial apostrophe to mark a string of characters, distinct from a numerical value.

Indeed that can be a problem; When used in Excel, the simple apostrophe will be removed (but still saved), making ['av] look like [av].

In MS word, the search does not make a difference between {'} and {’}, one cannot search for either specifically.
